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.

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.

Man I was just about to bite on the 16TB Seagate Exos enterprise for $250, but this is a sweet deal.
Honestly the price difference is so marginal, I'd go for the bare drives instead.

It's a good point. I placed an order for this one just because I can return it if I change my mind. But may order the enterprise one for the extra couple TB and longevity. And of course not having to shuck it.

Yeah, when it was $200 for an easystore and $350 for the same capacity enterprise drive, I would get the easystores, shuck them and hate all the waste of the cases, ac adapters and cables. I also hate seeing all the reports of people buying "sealed" easystores only to find 2TB drives in them.

Would you kindly take an economics class before you offer your tripe thoughts as clever sarcasm? Also, record breaking profits for oil companies too, you dingus you, which price of oil is fundamentally tied to the price of groceries... someone explain it to this guy

someone should try it anyways to see if the coupon applies.



Quote from bootymonger :
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.

Nice find op. I'm curious, what is the use case for those of you who could use this? For my needs, it's too much storage. Thanks

Besides using 2 different accounts, anyone know how to purchase > 3 online?
Just buy what you can and you can always go In store or wait for the next sale on these. It's been a consistent price point over the last few months

Bought this for $190 @ WD.COM 3 YEARS AGO. Often was this price, 8gb was 120 or less for about 7 years.. this is some gouging
I bet you really hate what happened to the cost of gas, groceries, rent, home ownership, car ownership, and just about everything else we use or spend money on.

There are a few websites that create daily $/TB lists for popular online vendors.
NewEgg: https://edwardbetts.com/price_per_tb/ $15/TB is the current low.
Amazon: https://diskprices.com/?locale=us&condition=new&disk_types=external_hdd,external_hdd25,internal_hdd,... [diskprices.com]
I've removed 'used' from that link. New only. Toshiba and Seagate Ironwolf are the low prices in the $14.xx range.

Media storage household media servers and data hoarding. And if you care about your data, buy 2, always buy 2. A primary and a backup. For my needs, USB3 isn't good for anything except backup storage. I want SATA, eSATA or SAS HDD interfaces. USB's control language lacks a few important commands.
Also, some people run lots of virtual machines, which typically need 10G-40G of storage.
If you do IT security, the largest password DB dumps are 3+TB. Get a few of those for your GPUs to crack over the next few years and having 30TB becomes easy. Pre-cracked passwords can make my consulting red-team engagements much faster. So many people are bad at passwords and think they are cleaver ... they aren't. We usually get 80% of the passwords inside a client company in less than a month. Those provide a beachhead to launch other attacks. Most people are pretty clueless about IT security even when they've been to 4 hrs of training. Somehow, they think it doesn't apply to them when safely at work.
