February 10, 201412 yr I've been keeping my eye on this drive on Amazon and it's been $179.99 for the past week or so. It's amazing that a $5 difference will probably get me to pull the trigger. I'm still on the fence about Red vs Green for unRAID, but the current price difference between the 4TB is so minimal that I might as well get the extra year of warranty with the Reds.
February 11, 201412 yr I'm going to replace my last 2TB WD Green with this. Believe it or not, used working 2TB WD Green drives still go for $60-70 on eBay so it actually should only cost me $125 after selling the green and PayPal/eBay fees.

Wow, I never would have guessed that a used 2TB WD Green would still sell for that much. Thanks for the info; I'll have some to get rid of once my 4TB Reds arrive.
February 11, 201412 yr Author That's indeed surprising. It means you can switch from 2TB greens to new 4TB Reds and get better drives with 3 more years of warranty for a net cost of less than $15/TB !! [Assuming $60/ea for 2 2TB greens and $175 for a new Red => $55 to upgrade = $13.75/TB]

Newegg Shell Shocker deals are usually available until the end of the day even though it says it expires before that. At least, I've gotten one after the expiration time and I've read the same from others.
