I recently just shucked my first WD 8TB Easystore and despite what I have read on the internet, I don't believe my 'White label' 8TB drive is a WD Red drive.

I got mine from Best Buy on sale for $169.99, which seems like a good deal when compared to other WD Red 8TB hard drives and the $299.99 shelf price.

  • Model: WDBCKA0080HBK-NESN

  • DCM: MGBJRCK

  • Drive Model: WD80EMAZ

  • Drive: 8TB 'White Label' 5400RPM 256MB Cache

While I can’t say with 100% certainty, they do appear to be helium filled drives. It also turns out that these drives are actually 7200RPM drives as speculation from this forum points out. There are also some pictures analyzing rotational speed that seem to indicate that these drives are in fact 7200RPM and Western Digital has purposefully made the drives report that they are running at 5400RPM instead.

Well, because I am a bit scared to integrate it in with my WD Reds, I think I will use it for back ups. Not the 24/7 always on back ups either, just a, plug it into my hot-swap backplane and use a script to back up files to it sort of use. None-the-less I really do need a drive for back ups. I am currently banking on dual parity to save me from data loss, I have been doing this for 4 years now and it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong. I've come really close to losing data in the past and the only thing that saved me was my Google Drive backups (think pictures and 'important' documents).

Slickdeals.com has a page that has pretty much all the information you need about what model of Easystore comes with what kind of drive. This will include information on 'How to Shuck' your hard drive from your Easystore, which is EZ.
