Don’t miss this 12TB HDD deal with absurdly good value for the capacity
Table of Contents
For me, hard disk drives are a fondly thought of PC component. Having watched them grow, it’s great that they’re with us today, bigger and able to help out in a pinch. For example, if you need a massive amount of storage for absurdly good value.
That’s the takeaway on a new WD Red Plus 12TB drive deal. Newegg has, for a limited time, dropped the drive to $240. This is a $320 drive already offering good value storage, thanks to the forward crank of time, now 25% less, and ideal for large PC or NAS storage requirements.

Why we like the WD Red Plus 12TB
Sentimentality aside, if you need a large amount of storage, an HDD will offer the best value. The WD Red Plus 12TB will deliver on both fronts and is ideal for SMBs who need to populate a NAS environment. Or a user who just wants a mega amount of space.

Who is this WD Red Plus 12TB deal for?
The WD Red Plus 12TB drive is primarily for SMB users who need to fill out or upgrade NAS Devices with a large capacity HDD. That’s not to say that you can’t use it if you need a huge amount of storage for an individual home setup or system.
HDDs aren’t good for quick and easy access, but if you want affordable storage for files you don’t need constant access to, the value is outstanding: at $240 for 12TB, it’s 2 cents per 1GB, which is just mind-boggling. That’s probably why this deal isn’t due to be around for long!
