This is correct, although it still beats Amazon when it comes to price-matching: No price matching, even if the price drops before your order is delivered, so I appreciate them still having a price match policy and being easy about it (I bought this drive 2 weeks ago, just jumped on chat and they refunded $35!)

They do have Best Buy Plus ($50/year) which will get you a 60-day returns/price match window, and free 2 day shipping. Not a great deal unless you buy/return a lot from them.

One other note about bestbuy price matches: They only match once. If you buy an item today and it drops $50 next week, they'll match it. If it drops another $50 the day after, they won't adjust the price again.

With all that said, I have about 10 of these 14/16/18/20TB EasyStore's and haven't had any issues with them. Great for the price and highly recommended at this deal.
Yep, it was after Black Friday I think. It will go to $200 again. $250 is too high.
Buyer beware: Best buy's return policy has changed to 15 days for most items which also extends to their price match. This has bit me a couple of times recently. They used to be 30 days which seems to be the standard for most physical and online stores.

Yeah I mean I've been holding out for the $200 price point. Once you see it for that, you really can't justify spending more.

That previous deal for $200 for an 18tb was for BB members only....i doubt it will come back.

this is $13.88/tb, pretty good deal for new drives.

If you are spending this much you might as well get the 20TB from newegg/amazon for $280 each. For a drive that has been $190 before paying $250 now isnt worth it IMO

How many hard drives are you still using from 10 years ago in the first place?
