Due to the current chip shortage, all signs show that prices of every piece of computer hardware will be going up in the near future. There's a very good chance you'll be waiting until the end of the year for prices to go down.

Not if Chia cryptocurrency becomes popular..
You can thank the bit torrent creator for that.

Gotta love how they made it EXACTLY $1/TB too much to see if $16/TB would sell as much as $15/TB. Could have been an even $120 instead of an otherwise random $128.

Guys, chia has eaten almost all stock of hard drive (SSD and HDD alike) in China, tripling the price. This has already affected Amazon Japan, and I would expect the impact to arrive in the US quickly. Grabbed a Seagate 8T before seeing this deal.

Reviews seem to confirm that these are WD Red 80EFAX drives, which without the external enclosure, go for roughly 180. seems like a straight steal.
