While this is an OK deal, the better deal is on westerndigital that also just put the same drive on sale for 241.99. Buying direct from westerndigital also gives you an extra 1 year of warranty. You also can get 5 - 5.5% cb on various CB sites I cannot mention here on SD by name, but many of you will guess what sites those are. I personally would pay $2.00 more for an extra year of warranty, plus the CB.
on WD direct store:

I looked into it a while back, and while the Elements drive does seem to have a bit more features, they ultimately didn't seem to matter much to me -- and the best price won

Easystore = BestBuy Exclusive model/branding
Elements = "everywhere else"

Elements = Has hardware encryption
Easystore = No encryption


I don't know if anything changes beyond that -- if one is easier than the other to "shuck" or if the internal drives are different? But I've been buying externals for years -- SanDisk, Elements, Easystore, and I really haven't noticed any issues/differences between them. For me, I'd say go with the size that makes most sense to you.

14 TB = 200 (Easystore)
16 TB = 240 (Elements)
18 TB = 280 (Easystore)

The 14TB seems to be the best value, after that you can add $20 TB (x2) for the elements or $20 TB (x4) for the easystore if you needed more storage, but I wouldn't necessarily expect much of a noticeable difference (for an average user) between either.

I will say that my NEW "EasyStore" drives (BestBuy 2022 black friday) are much louder/noisier than previous years. I don't know if Elements is the same?
ยท
Easystore is a BestBuy exclusive, avoids pricematching - Elements is the retail version.

and NO encryption on the Elements, My Books have the encryption. folks keep making up stuff

Really wish there was an easy way for me to sell some of my older external HDDs (12tb-14tb) and upgrade. I hate selling on eBay!

just use the old one as double backups. Don't rely on just one drive.

Quote from jmr2198 :
Also, if you have a capital one credit card, you may have an offer for using their rewards for 11 percent back going thru their links. I just bought the 18tb from WD via this method instead an hour ago. 299.99 - 11 percent of that plus a total 4 year warranty. Better than best buy deal of $280. I had 2 separate stolen orders that were from best buy who will use a local delivery service called Roady. On both occasions, Roady drivers stole the packages after taking proof of delivery photos on a public facing street. This may happen of your local BB has your item instock. Buyer beware, and BB will not tell you which courier will deliver until after order has been charged. Same thing happened with them using Roady for an order in a different city as well about a year ago.
I just did this same thing. FYI, the offer was available for my personal card but not my business card. WD is selling the bare Red Pro drives for about the same price (+/- depending on capacity) so for me paying $10 more (on the 18TB) to not have to shuck it or worry about warranty is worth it. Also free USB stick!

I did everything on a computer web browser, make sure you have all your ad blockers (if any) disabled, log into your capital one banking account, and you will see a section at the bottom that says, "Credits for Shopping", click that, you will see a new page that lists all the stores and CB offers if you use a capital one credit card. Look for western digital, or use the search function to find it directly on the site. Follow the directions from there, but basically it tells you to not use any outside coupon codes or discounts, and complete your shopping directly thru the same window it will take you to (it will direct you to westerndigital's website), and track your purchase if you follow the directions. All the CB sites basically operate the same way.

Fb marketplace only thing fb is good for imo. At right price,(read: like 60 bucks) and good/fair SMART readings I'd buy em if I saw them on there . I've never run anything other than jobs and raid 0. Please, the loss of 14TB of ..free archival quality 4k content, I could care less. I call em fun drives! Relax your bum drives!
