It's Best Buy. Most people probably live within 15 minutes of a Best Buy store. Just buy this. When it arrives, leave it in the box unopened. If a better deal comes along, buy that instead, and return this one to Best Buy. They'll accept the return without any hassle since it's unopened. And the factory seal being intact means they can put it right back on their store shelves so you impose minimal cost to the store as well.

That turns this problem from you saying "damn, I should've waited for a better deal", into Best Buy saying "damn, we should've offered a better sale price."

My guess would be they're trying to say "not for laptops" cause if they just list the size in inches people will still be like: "will this fit in my laptop."

What does "for desktops" mean? I've never seen that before. As opposed to what, servers? Yet it shows "NAS HDD." Well isn't a NAS essentially a server?

There was a deal at Newegg Friday to get these for $132 after using their zip pay in 4 at checkout. Limit 2 though by the time I checked out.

14TB for $199 vs 8TB $155. I have 4 x 14TB scheduled for pickup. Which one do you prefer?
