Vetteman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 In your 6TB example on eBay WD WD60EFRX if you google WD60EFRX you will that is a WD 6TB WD Red Plus CMR drive. Amazon search for model WD60EFRX https://www.amazon.ca/Red-6TB-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B00LO3KR96?th=1 Quote Link to comment
Vetteman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Newegg search for WD60EFRX https://www.newegg.ca/red-wd60efrx-6tb/p/N82E16822236737 Quote Link to comment
Vetteman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Your 8TB link is model WD80EFZX , a WD Red CMR, firmware manufactured in 2016 https://aphnetworks.com/reviews/western-digital-red-wd80efzx-8tb/2 And your links were for ebay purchases. As I said prior ebay products can be sketchy. I much prefer Newegg, BestBuy or Amazon. So I am not surprised to see older products listed on ebay as new are old. Unlike Newegg or even Amazon. Older models of WD and Seagate are often sold at BestBuy as a discount as older products. Quote Link to comment

In fact one of the links posted specifically mentions it's an old model: You mentioned: On 12/2/2023 at 3:30 PM, Vetteman said: So I hardly think there would be any 4 year old WDs in stock at Best Buy, Newegg, etc being sold as new And clearly you still can, but I see this conversation is not going anywhere so I going to be like Elsa and let it go Quote Link to comment
Vetteman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Sorry but my intent was not to be confrontational or argumentative. I was simply trying to make a point, that NEW WDs follow the rebranding. Any prior to the 2020 branding are OLD stock and perhaps USED. I did maintain that eBay is a place you need to investigate before purchasing and it is on ebay where there is confusion not with Newegg, BestBuy and perhaps even Amazon. Again sorry.... 1 Quote Link to comment
