WD Gold Enterprise Class 3.5" SATA Hard Drive 20TB - $375

$375.00

Western Digital has 20TB Gold or Red Optinand drives on sale.

$375 each, but must add two (2) to cart to obtain discount. Discount automatically applied. Probably a warm deal, but on sale nonetheless. These drives were just released a few months ago.

I've been ignoring all the 18tb deals waiting for 20s. This is tempting.

Now then, since they're basically the same price, Reds or Golds for a home Synology NAS?

Gold is better but noisier.

Red Pro and Gold are close in specs. The warranty is 5 years on both. Gold is said to be noisier.

I only have Red Pros, but I read that Golds are:
- noisier
- consume significantly more wattage both working and on idle
+ golds' ratings do have 2x number of hours until failure (same warranty though)

I literally saw 2x 20TB Red Pro's for $599 2 days ago. Not a good deal.
