    No tax for me thru Newegg, vs nearly 11% thru Bestbuy makes a bit of difference.

    Not bad, but for those looking to shuck, this does not contain a helium drive like those found in the Easystore drives.

    Edit: Looks like it may contain a helium drive as confirmed below.

    The 5 elements 8TB drives I bought from BHphoto last week were all helium drives with manufacture dates of either 12/05/18 or 12/13/18 as confirmed by their model number and by the covered pin hole on the drive.

    the 10tb on FP from BB for $160 is a slightly better per TB deal.

    Anyone have any idea how good or bad this would work on a PS4 or Xbox one?

    Been on the hunt for one of these for a while at $125. This is the lowest price so far that I have seen but I am not in a hurry till summer so I will wait. But if you need one now, this is a good price.

    The 3.5" ones were always shuckable. You may be thinking about the 2.5" ones with the soldered on USB header.

    Hope this means we get similar savings on the 4TB or 6TB models soon!
