    Shows "12 in stock" but good price while it lasts.

    Edit - to get ahead of the common questions...

    Yes, it's shuckable.
    No, it's not SMR.
    You're going to get a white label 7200rpm drive that is most likely a sealed helium and may or may not need the PWDIS 3.3v mod depending on the particular drive model you get and what PSU you have in the destination for this drive.
    These are usually quiet (and quieter than Enterprise drives) but it is possible you get a variant where the noise bothers some people.
    The 14TB EasyStores had at least 2 different drives ship inside, it's possible this has multiple options as well. That's part of the risk you take when buying an external (at a discount) and shucking.
    ·
    One drive can't even saturate the USB 3.0 connection anyway, so no worries there. But if you just prefer USB-C, gotcha.
    ·
    Kinda curious ... if you search for this drive on Amazon by itself (without using the link supplied by OP), it shows regular price of $234.99 for the 12TB. It shows as $161.99 for the 12TB if using the link from OP.

    Does SlickDeals work some sort of deal with Amazon for something like this?

    Just curious.

    Nabbed two this time. I can wait a bit. Going in a used server tower to run as a NAS.

    Will be my first shucking so we'll see how it goes.

    It's an incredibly easy thing to shuck a drive. You won't have any issues.

    Sometimes Amazon defaults to other sellers, like if they're sold out or backordered. OP links to Amazon as the seller, whereas searching on Amazon shows another seller, which can then be switched to Amazon or any other seller. No special deal, just the way their search works.

    I see now, thank you for pointing that out. I did not notice that the seller was different, since it was "fine print" off to the right. I guess it truly does pay to shop around! Big Grin
    Thanks again @TheWanderingFound for the explanation.
