BS is always right. whatever you see on BS, as long as the UPC is matching, they will ring up at that price. have you tried to scan it at their POS?
Thanks for that tip. Naturally I would not have hesitated to try it, but you must have missed the fact that there were none available as opposed to BS showing "in stock" because WM also did. They were not showing "5-6 available" or "limited stock", so I thought I had a good chance to find one or more. It happens all the time due to WM's extremely rare inventory auditing which is always a YMMV. Not BS's fault, like I said.
Also if you try to ring out in electronics or a department other than the front registers, watch out because if they forget to reboot their terminal, it will not reflect a markdown that occurred overnight.

Imagine paying Walmart $600 to clean out their trash.

i am sure these are worth more than your comment.

how are these trash? based on a single review back in 2017?
Imagine not understanding the context of the word "trash" in a simple statement.

When registering the product I keep getting a message "please enter a valid portable SSD registration code for Acronis. Leave the field blank if you've filled it out by accident"

Not only do I not see a field called SSD registration code but I also can't find a serial number any where in the device or in the box for another field asking for serial number. Anyone have any ideas?

I think the main reason these didn't sell long ago and are on clearance is the outdated interface. If they were USB C, they would still be regular price.

How many would they sell you at Marion store? They told me limit 2. Thanks.
No limit. She was surprised at the price, and I asked how many more she had. She found 5 more before I told her I'd be back for the rest if I could shuck them. Didn't bat an eye, she just said "Good luck!"

I asked three or four employees about dead item/sku cages in the back but everyone said they don't have those.

I asked two employees where the electronic manager was or whatever it's called. They used to have a tall box table that a manager would sit behind or stand near it past the registers. They don't have that anymore.

One employee looked it up on his hand held computer. I had the title, the sku, the UPC and the barcode number but not a picture of the bars of the barcode. I told him it was the same number as the UPC but may or may not have the last "5". He found nothing. He found the one they still carry which I found online last night searching my specific local store. I asked him where his computer dept. clearance section was. He pulled out a smaller device that looked like a cellphone and gave me two isles that may have the electronics dept. clearance section in them.

I couldn't find a clearance section. I asked an employee in the dept. where I would find a clearance external SSD and mentioned the dead sku/item cage. He said he never heard of a dead cage. He took me to the shelf with current external HDD's and SSD's. He showed me the current PNY ExSSD on the shelf and a picture of it at the counter.

I told him again that it was discontinued 480GB not 500GB and he said he knew the one I was looking for. He had bought one. He took me to their clearance shelf. I bought the last one. Another employee told me he had bought one. I was so happy to find one and in a rush since my friend was waiting in the car that I didn't look to see what else was on the clearance shelf.

The shelf wasn't labeled. It was under a display and a short shelf from left to right, maybe the shelf under it was clearance too. I think there was another shelf under it. It was a big, wide isle where they have a big square counter with cash registers on the front and back of the square counter.

I don't know if they had anymore deep on that shelf behind other things or anywhere else. I got the last one on the front of that shelf.

Thanks OP!

Brickseek shows a bunch of walmarts have 6+ stock near me. I tried one, and there was nothing in stock. I didn't bother trying another store location -- not worth getting covid for this.

Under WIKI:

On the Acronis website under your products [acronis.com] you should see an icon with "PC 1". Click on that to reveal your activation key.

I don't seek PC 1. Is this dead installation now?
