Yeah, I'm the bad guy offering "tripe thoughts" in this thread. Maybe reread your "helpful" post where you complain about the price because you bought this YEARS AGO for less.
Completely unhelpful because times have changed. That's why this is a Frontpage deal, this is a good price.

But sure, I'm the dingus because I'm not crapping on a front page deal that's a good price in modern times - you know, the ones we actually live in and that don't require a time machine unlike the time period where you apparently live and judge prices from.

Maybe look at the recent price history on an item and judge the deal according to that instead of some random price from the past you've held onto regardless of any events that have transpired since. Especially when the deal is the same as previous good FP deals.
Or, you know, just get lost.

The last 16 of them I bought over the years are all whites... So pretty sure they'll be whites

This is slickdeals, not best-historical-price-deals.
I don't know how half of what you've said is relevant honestly.
People come here to find the best current offered price on an item, learn something about the item itself, and find tips about stacking discounts. They don't want to wait 3 years, travel back in time, change the landscape of manufacturing and price fixing, or whatever other nonsense you've brought up. All your comments do is detract from the discussion and muddy the waters of useful discourse.
The purpose of posting here is to either offer useful information, kudos, or potentially correct misinformation. Nothing you've said falls under any of those categories.

Pontificate all you want, but at least try to add to the usefulness of the forum. And the passive aggressive heart is equally unnecessary.

Besides using 2 different accounts, anyone know how to purchase > 3 online?
I needed 4 to upgrade my NAS. I just placed an order for 3, then I placed an order for 1. Both say ready for pickup, so I'm assuming I'm good to go.

Decent price. Check and see if they have any additional trade-in discounts.

I got this drive a bit over a year ago for the same price, but they also offered $40 off when you traded in any storage device. I brought in a 16MB flash drive from over a decade ago and got the discount.

The coupon says it doesn't apply to easy store drives, right?

They altered the deal and we should pray they don't alter it further. The recycle coupon used to include Easystore and was 15% off but now it excludes Easystore and is only 10% off.

so do we buy the WD 14tb or the seagate 14tb expansions?

supposed the seagate expansion drives have the exos enterprise hdd

these wd drives have are supposed to be wd red plus drives
Definitely WD

Seagate has a terrible reputation for longterm reliability.

18TB is $280 again if you want to pay $80 for that extra 4TB.

Are these WD externals just as loud as the ServerPartDeals [serverpartdeals.com]manufacturer recertified enterprise drives that are 14TB for $135?
How are these drives from serverpartsdeals? Their prices are attractive to store unimportant rip movies

What drives are in these again? WD whites or something like that?
I've shucked a few over the past 2 years, all have been white. It's similar to a red except you have to mod it to deal with the power pin

Pretty sure everything inside a WD enclosure is a "white" now, to prevent people from shucking, finding a red, and reselling.
These are normally 7200rpm helium-filled whites (CMR) with good write performance, cool running, and don't make much noise. They have always treated me well.

Would the old 15% coupon still work if you still had it though?

Man, you must hate going to the gas station and grocery store (among other things)...
