You needed to invest $50 more to upgrade your floppy drive to 2.88 and get a square hole puncher to offset the sensor to implement a in-place upgrade. This in theory could scale your economy better. Even if the success rate is 70%, that will still net you around $3.5 mil of saving.

Crazy good deal, this is the best price I think I've seen on an 18TB. For the past few years the black Friday sale has been 299.99. Thank you OP!

I got my 8tb seagate for < $100, so $12.5 / TB is my guide line... will get it for $225...
It's not a linear progression, so you'll likely need to wait until you're able to get the 8tb around $60. I'd be interested in that as well! :-)

In 2017, I bought 3x 8TB for $140 each. They had white NAS drives inside. The 3 drives are still working fine to this day at RAID 5.

Fast forward 5 years today, the price per TB seem to have stayed the same. I would have guessed that 18TB would have been the price of 8TB 5yrs ago but I am wrong.

This 18TB should be $140 these days.

I got my 14s for $11/TB on BF from WD after 20% r10 cb.... if only the student discount would have stacked for me.
edit: btw, this is a great deal still, it's obviously not BF now...

Need to order single, multiple in cart reduce discount to $220 instead of $250 for a single. Was able to submit multiple orders.

I paid $145 for two Mybooks with the white label drives in 2019, still good but I don't run them all the time. Are people still shucking these externals?
