There are plenty of great options if you're looking to buy a NAS enclosure right now. But most NAS enclosures are diskless, which means you will have to pick up a hard drive separately. There are hard drives designed for use in a NAS like Seagate's IronWolf and the WD Red series, but I'm going to highlight my favorite 14TB drive: the WD Easystore.The 14TB WD Easystore isn't a standalone drive but a storage enclosure in its own right, but it contains a 14TB WD140EDFZ hard drive, a white-label HDD built by WD that delivers the same level of performance as the IronWolf or WD Red drives. What that means is that with the 14TB Easystore now available for just $190, you can get your hands on a 14TB NAS-ready hard drive for under $200, making it one of the best Black Friday storage deals around.A hidden gemWD Easystore 14TB | $120 off$190 at Best BuyThe Easystore 14TB contains a white-label WD hard drive that's ideal for use in a NAS enclosure.
