You have to be a tooltech member to see the 199.99 price
Is "tooltech" now what they are calling their Best Buy Rewards membership? The deal is open to Best Buy Rewards members. Just ordered one.

[Update: ToolTech is $200/year and is different from the My Rewards program which is/was free, and is all that is needed to exercise this deal.]

My bad its 2 years

However once you shuck it . Warranty is void unless you have extreme skills to put these enclosures back together . Wd exclusive best buy externals are the worse and will have multiple broken clips
I've shucked dozens and not a single broken clip. No extreme skills needed.

Unless they changed the enclosure, with two non-marring pry tools, they come right apart without damage. I've shucked 40+ and haven't broke a single clip yet.

Perfect timing, I still have 6 of these drives from my batch last year and building a new server and was thinking I needed 6 more. RIP my credit card.

You don't need extreme skills to work with these things. I've shucked at least 30-40 of these things over the years and not a single clip has been broken. I just wiggle 4 pieces of an old gift card into the back seem, slide it down to where the clips are to release them, and then slide it out. Remove the drive from the caddy, remove 1 Philips head screw to release the sata-usb adapter board, remove the activity light plastic thing, unscrew the 4 screws that mount the drive into the case, and you are home free. I can usually do one in 3 or 4 minutes from start to finish.

Then I put all the parts in a small bag and put it back inside the enclosure, slide it back most of the way, stick it in the original box (serial numbers from the drive are printed on the enclosure *and* the box), and put it in storage for the next 2 years until the warranty expires.

I've had 2 die on me and I've reassembled them and sent them back and WD didn't say a peep and just replaced them.

The only enclosures I've mutilated was about 10 years ago when I tried to shuck the Toshiba drives. Good lord those sucked.

Wrong .
Also seagate is not trash I run 3 , 45 bay supermicros and two unraid servers full of seagates and only had 1 issue with a 8tb smr drive and 1 issue with 18TB cmr drive but died within 24hours after writing to it.

I have 2PiB on my servers.
I had 24 Seagate drives and lost half over 3yrs. I don't buy Seagate anymore. I might consider enterprise grade, but regular Seagate is off the table for me.

14TB remanfactured certified with 2 year warranty go for 164.00 no tax
140.00 for sas through a source i have but only has 90 day warranty.

14TB retail externals should be 150.00 IMO and we may see that on BF as WD has 22TB now

I am waiting . but this deal isn't hot
SAS is interesting to me. $150 would be amazing! I really doubt they'll be $150 for BF.
