If you're looking for extremely high capacity in a single drive, this 18TB hard drive is a great deal at $17.22 per TB. However, the current sale on the 14TB for $200 (at Best Buy) is a much better deal at just $14.29 per TB.
After glancing over the historical prices of the various sizes over the past few years, I think there's a good chance that the 18TB might hit $260 by the end of this year:
The above prices are the lowest price each drive hit during each year (according to historical SD posts for non-exclusive pricing). It's probably useless information, but the averages for the prices above are:
* 6TB (2018+): $95.00 ($15.83 per TB)
* 8TB (2018+): $124.00 ($15.50 per TB)
* 10TB (2018+): $158.00 ($15.80 per TB)
* 12TB (2019+): $178.33 ($14.86 per TB)
* 14TB (2019+): $197.67 ($14.12 per TB)
* 16TB (2020+): $257.50 ($16.09 per TB)
* 18TB (2020+): $295.00 ($16.39 per TB)
And if you wanted even more useless information, here's the best price per TB for each size (based on its lowest price ever):
* 6TB @ $90: $15.00 per TB
* 8TB @ $120: $15.00 per TB
* 10TB @ $143: $14.30 per TB
* 12TB @ $175: $14.58 per TB
* 14TB @ $190: $13.57 per TB
* 16TB @ $255: $15.94 per TB
* 18TB @ $280: $15.56 per TB
While doing all of this math, I realized that the 14TB at its current sale price of $200 ($14.29/TB) is still cheaper per TB than any of the other drives have been at their lowest price.

Have a question. Why does HDD and SSDs not give as much drive space as advertised? if i am buying $18TB hdd, when formatted it should be $18TB. Instead we get much less. Is it a technical issue?

There is a Storage Recycling coupon for 15% off if you bring in a Hard drive or even memory card to recycle. See the top of the post referenced for details. I did this yesterday and it was $169.99 before tax
