Is this a good deal? I know it's better than $18/TB, but does this ever go lower?

It's a decent deal. The best I've seen is $190 for a 14 TB. Best buy had that deal before the holidays.

Meh... not that stellar over the $150 8tb deals going on -- for years ---, considering it's 2021 now. Seems like the only sale price going right now if you need one right now though.

Pandemic changed everything. The supply probably outpaced by demand so this is why discounts are hard to find.

This would be 🎯 if it was 140 or lower. Nowadays it should really go for $135 to be 🔥

Newegg's done better on this drive. This is typical "sale" price, but not a SlickDeal by any means anymore. It was $150 in early November.

That being said, if you need a drive sooner rather than later, go get it. If you're patient, a better deal for this drive will come again.

Can you explain if supply outpaces demand how would that make discounts hard to find usually high supply low demand creates discounts in classic economics?

I think you read his statement incorrectly, you missed the "by" between supply and demand. Seems plausible, if there is no supply due to demand buying everything up setting up shop working from home these days, why would there be a need for discounts? Well, us consumers wants discounts at least!

We already see this in the video card market, theres a shortage and manufacturers have zero reason to lower prices.
Right now the 2 biggest hard drive manufacturers have little reason to drop prices because the work from home situation has caused an uptick in demand for computer hardware.

"outpaced by demand" not "outpaces demand" -- opposite meaning is how it's explained
