Expand your NAS storage w/ this 2-pack of HGST 8TB HDDs for $413 ($500 value), more

Update 10/4 @ 7:49 PM: Amazon offers the SanDisk 500GB 2.5-inch internal solid state drive for $80.99 shipped (Reg. $90). Rated 4.6/5 stars.

Newegg offers a 2-pack of HGST 8TB NAS 3.5-inch internal hard drives for $412.99 shipped. Regularly these drives are around $245+ each which comes out to just shy of $500 for a pair. These are my favorite drives when building a NAS as they’re reliable and can hold a massive amount of data. Rated 4.1/5 stars.

For a more budget-friendly option, there’s always the 4TB WD Red drive at $125. You’re losing out on storage space here, as it has half as much as each of the HGST drives, though it’s just as reliable.

HGST 8TB NAS HDD features:

• 7200 RPM performance, delivers media transfer rates up to 20% faster than 5400 RPM drives
• Seek times less than 12ms
• Up to 8TB capacity
• 1 million hours MTBF
• Rotational Vibration Sensor
