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.
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.

Generally speaking, laptop hard drives (2.5") are the only ones that can power off of the USB cable in an external enclosure.
It's okay to be a schill for big tech and not be able to understand what they are doing g and why, but don't get all nerd-ragey about it.
Look into some of those questions I asked and do some research. Never said this wasn't the best current price, it is however a historically mediocre price, given that BF too was better to be had.
You can also continue lap-dogging for price gougers and kick rocks ❤️

I personally try not to engage with these trolls ... generally you cannot win because he's a zealot trying to make the political statement that "there is no inflation, just price gouging from evil corporations" on a deal site.
These guys use big words they just looked up in a thesaurus to make you feel inferior and push an agenda that they probably know nothing about. Usually they're typing in their parents basement. It's hard to "win" any argument with someone who knows nothing.
Anyway, he will probably respond to you again (and now me too) with even bigger, more ridiculous wording and outrage.
It's the reason I hardly ever post on the web.
It always amazes me how many people waste the time to post the same "not a great price, was better X time ago", especially when it was multiple years back. Meanwhile I'm on slickdeals, camelcamelcamel, and wherever else trying to do my due diligence and stay current on pricing.
If you're on here in the first place, presumably you understand that pricing is fluid and you want to be an informed purchaser when you lay down your cash. How you can be smart enough to use and value this site and still pretend outside circumstances don't affect historical pricing is always a mystery to me.
Hopefully they do use some big words, maybe I'll learn a new one!

We're wondering if it's a 14tb hd, shouldn't it say something closer to 12.7tb free of "13.6tb (or greater)?" Why is it advertised as a 14TB hd if total capacity is only 12.7tb? Again, we're noobs with this so any insight would be much appreciated.

You have once again claimed I said things that I didn't for positions and arguments I never took. I can find you a straw man if you need one...
Here's to you and the point, ships passing in the night..

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.
