Thanks OP it's a good deal, but definitely not good enough to warrant buying it from Newegg.

Best Buy doesn't sell Elements, they have their "own" model (Easystore) so they don't have to price-match.

You can also get the recycled drive discount from BB that takes even more off the sales prices. Just bring in an old hard drive or flash drive.

They don't match prices with promo codes anyways.

And it's inferior to the Element in every way: it runs noisier and hotter, and is slightly larger. I have both in 14TB and will never buy another Easystore if given the option to have an Element at a similar or slight premium instead.

It's strange you had this experience.. I've shucked a fair number of both Elements and Easystores and the disks are typically the same. I think the vibration dampening in the Easystore cases is probably inferior, but unless there are significant firmware differences, the heat issue you had is odd.

I can say that there is an insignificant difference in temps once these drives are loaded into a cooled disk shelf, and the performance is identical.

I've bought a lot of Easystores and Elements and the drives inside are exactly the same. Even the carrier and the SATA-USB converters look the same. Granted I'm shucking the majority of my drives but I can't imagine them running any different if they are still in the enclosure.

Maybe so, but they had it for the same price recently. With the tax at Newegg, it came out to the same overall price.
