This is a match to the same deal as tiger direct had a couple of days ago!  A record low for amazon.  Now I need to contemplate upgrading my parity drive... 

 

 

Western Digital Red 6 TB NAS Hard Drive 1 to 8-Bay 3.5-inch SATA 6, IntelliPower, 64MB Cache Internal Bare or OEM Drives WD60EFRX

 

edit: also noticed a price drop on the 6tb greens:

 

Western Digital Green 6 TB Desktop Hard Drive 3.5-inch SATA 6, IntelliPower, 64 MB Cache Internal Bare or OEM Drives WD60EZRX

 

Building a new unRAID server and trying to decide between the 6TB WD Reds or the new HGST 6TB drives.....$263 vs $285....unfortuantely, amazon won't ship these to my location (APO/Military address) but newegg will (for ~$25).....decisions decisions......which one would you go for?

For the WD60EFRX if you can take advantage of the tigerdirect paypal checkout deal and don't need to pay tax the $235 price is hard to beat.  See below thread for more on that.
