WD 10TB Red: any rumours ?

Any substantiated rumors about WD 10TB Red (not Red Pro) ? :D

Thank you in advance for sharing - sg

Well, they announced them the other day. They're helium drives, so I expect them to be very close to the 10TB HGST models.

Rumors of what? They're in stock at newegg.

Good price, too.

Thank you!

That new arrival appears to be a hot commodity both at Newegg and Amazon.

My laziness made me look only at those listed WD resellers that I prefer, and since 2017-05-31 those stores clearly did not receive enough of volume to start listing it...

I do wonder a bit about the quoted 180TB/year workload. For a very busy NAS, I could see that being a challenge...
