May 17, 20179 yr Western Digital is introducing their 10 TB HDD RED series (designed for NAS use). Who's going to buy it? Link to the source article https://www.wdc.com/products/internal-storage/wd-red.html#WD100EFAX
May 18, 20179 yr Agreed - it's worth it (to me at least) to pay $120 more to get two more years' warranty and the relatively high (550 TB annually) workload rate compared to the Red's 180 TB rate. That extra $120 in theory should net you a drive lifespan at least double the Red's warranty period (though I suspect the Reds are good for five and the Golds good for 8 to 10 years' use with unRAID).
May 18, 20179 yr The 10TB Red is a 10TB Gold that didn't make the grade. The 10TB Purple will be a 10TB Red that didn't quite make that grade, and the 10TB Blues will be the crap that's left over that sort of works. Same as all other sizes of WD drive...

May 19, 20179 yr Just checked the price of the 10TB Gold here in the UK. About £570. That's US$741. That's expensive.
