I hate the fact that this appears to be a pretty good deal in “today’s” market, but it’s the best I’ve seen recently for a relatively large capacity NAS drive.
This is a Data Center drive and as such is apparently a bit noisier than a Red Pro.
Same price appears to be available on the WD Canadian site, but I believe there have been issues recently with WD products being shipped into Canada from the US so NewEgg is probably the better choice.

Obviously not the $/TB pricing that folks expect to see from a shucked drive, but pretty much the best I’ve seen recently for folks who want a 24/7 rated drive for their NAS.
