Yes, that newegg.

CMR
5640 RPM
128 MB Cache
2-year limited warranty

https://www.newegg.ca/blue-wd80eazz-8tb … 6822234496
$159.99 + $9.99 shipping + tax ($21.25 / TB)

But wait! If you’re buying 2, it’d be cheaper to buy from WD.

Two for $319.98 + free shipping + tax ($20.00 / TB)

I have no friends to split the order with so I ordered from Newegg. ;_;

Other consideration:
The WD My Book 8 TB comes on sale at Costco sometimes (last was $169.99 in February). It can be very easily shucked.
– It’s probably faster than the 8tb blue.
– It’s probably louder and hotter than the 8tb blue
– 1 more year warranty over 8tb blue (assume you shucked it cleanly and can put it back together)
– It may require a 3.3v pin mod to work with certain PSUs if used as an internal drive (but should be plug and play for NAS).
