WD Red® Pro drives are engineered to handle high-intensity workloads in 24×7 multi-user commercial and enterprise NAS environments. WD Red Pro drives deliver the performance, scalability and dependability businesses require to store, share and collaborate on large amounts of data in multi-bay RAID-optimized NAS systems.
Is it just WD or most tech things in general? Is it all about taxes? Forgive my ignorance I’ve never shopped abroad outside of touristy stuff.
In this case i was talking about WD specifically
Their website prices are virtually the same in the different versions of their european websites
for the 20TB red pro:
622 eur in germany
627 eur in france
556 pounds in the UK, which is 638 eur at the current exchange rate
So brexit doesn’t seem to have an impact here, its just that WD sells at much higher prices in europe compared to the US
In general, hardware does tend to be a little bit more expensive in europe, but not by this much. WD seems to take it to a whole other level.
