It is a good pice. Just curious if it is a new lower price than typical of late.

It's been hovering 220 to 234.99$ quite a lot.
With higher capacity drives I don't think it's unrealistic to hope for 200 ish price.

Imagine going back in time with a data drive like this that has orders of magnitude more storage than a whole data center, which cost many millions of $$ to purchase and maintain, in a single unit device form factor that you can hold in your hand! Wow...
(and porn)​

Tempted to gamble on this refurb/recert Seagate.
UHD Blurays can run as large as 100GB each per disc. That's only 200 discs/movies per pair of mirrored 20T drives.
Not to mention TV shows that in UHD can run 20-30 UHD discs per series so only 15-20 TV series per pair of 20TB drives.
And we haven't even touched porn.

So, I will archive MST3K/Rifftrax and other niche stuff I enjoy, but yeah, it's an extreme waste to just archive as much media as you can for hoarding purposes.
