In case you are OK with 8TB drives:

FS: Processor - 3700X, 2x8GB Vengeance LPX 3000C15, 2x8TB WD HDDs

Bump for 2x8GB Hard drives. 19K shipped for both.

and

FS: Storage Hardware - Sealed WD Purple Pro Surveillance Hard Drive 8TB with almost 5 Years Warranty Left

These are rated for 5 years of MTBF and have almost 5 years warranty left. 7200RPM drives. Still sealed in original packaging. From a video production project for a client that didn't take off. No bill, but WD does not need invoice for RMA. Screenshot attached for warranty info from official...

Still looking. Would also appreciate pointers on good 4TB (on drives known to be CMR) deals online.

Diskless NAS goes for 24K (Not sure if exact hardware though) https://www.amazon.in/EX4100-Diskless-Network-Attached-Storage/dp/B00TB8XMR0/

Even if he sells for 20k, per hdd cost 11k

Would have bought the WD NAS, if not for the fact that the Reds inside are likely SMR variants (definitely not Red Plus drives, from any of the photos I could see).

Would still risk and buy this if someone could buy the box alone for 20K. Any takers?

I get your point, but would you be willing to let go of the warranty for just 2909/drive less?

warranty void ? how ?

Curious also about this. If the warranty is only valid with the HDDs and NAS unseparated, are you not permitted to upgrade/downgrade drives?

I could not find the exact thread/post, but I do remember reading somewhere about this, I could be wrong.

But for sure they don't allow the WD Mybook series/other external shucked drives to be RMA'd without the case. Will have to check with WD support before purchasing.

single bay NAS has to rma as a whole. the EX series if the drives go bad ( smart error) only drives need to be sent. i have put the query n wd community. waiting for reply.
