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.

I think this is the bigger issue with these big external drives....namely, there just aren't that many people that really need 8TB or larger drives to store all of their stuff.

And I say that as someone who runs a Linux home server with 4x 6TB drives in a RAID array. Serves as my network hub for my business, the Mrs. business, and two kids who game & edit GoPro videos.
The large storage is mainly for media (audio, video, photography). All my old movies, audio and photos have been converted or scanned and stored, including cassette tapes Smilie Movies include all sorts from foreign flicks to cartoons to anime. Same applies to audio. If it's good I'll buy and rip it, even if I don't understand it Smilie Most of my photos and video are shot in RAW and this takes up a huge amount. Now that I'm shooting at least 4k60p it's even worse. That and I tend to keep everything, even the crappy photos and videos as I learn and experiment.

I don't know about the others but I sure have a lot of stuff to store and 20TB isn't enough to start.

The problem is that this is not 2020 anymore and chia miners are long gone, $200 should be sale price for 16TB at this point

Cha-cha CHIA!! They were going for HD's and not video cards? I don't recall that. I thought the HD issues were because of weather related issues in the countries they were being made in..

My NAS is 6X14TB and it is full. I am now adding an expansion chassis to add more drives. This is in addition to 44TB connected directly to my PC. And then, because you need a backup, I have a second 6 drive NAS and a 12-bay Winders server connected as well.

If you have a lot of DVDs and BR discs that you have copied to your system, you can gobble up TB like a pacman.

They certainly were, https://www.zdnet.com/article/exb...ge-junkie/
Chia mining was exclusively done with hdds instead of GPUs, at its peak each one of those was "worth" ~$1.5K

My 8TB backup just filled up. This would be nice to have, but am I really going to drop $200 just for some more storage?? 🤔
Sure, why not? I'd pay almost anything to have reliable backups. You can't get back those pictures of the kids, movies of the grandparents, etc.
Transfer the data and sell the 8TB on eBay to recoup some of the cost.

Yours is broken then. Mine arrived and I've been running surface tests since yesterday. It's quieter than the older 10TB WD helium it's replacing and data transfers are 160MB/s+

It is the same price direct at BB so purchase it based on where you get the best CB. eBay is 1.5% but BB is 2% plus I had a $5 reward from my purchase of one of these in December. Don't waste your BB rewards because you forgot you had them. I also get CB on the CC so it all adds up.

You can save an additional 20% if you trade-in a drive. I did this last year with the same deal on this drive.

Brought in a 10+ year old flash drive that was like 16MB an they applied the extra discount. Has to be in-store, so it's up to you if it's worth $20 to drive to a store and deal with customer service (it confused the hell out of them and it took multiple people to get it taken care of).

People say its loud. I asked co-workers, Reddit and looked up YouTube videos. Some else here said it is loud too.
