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.

I had picked up the 16TB version in Feb for $160 with 3-yr warranty and 90 days return.
Works great so far as a cloud storage for friends and family around the globe.

Are these good for archival, long-term storage, for mostly off loading photos?
Its OK for non-critical data and secondary backup. Life expectancy may not be as high as Enterprise drives.

FYI: One of these failed on me in less than a year in my NAS. Was able to send the bare drive into warranty (since I threw away the enclosure) and they sent me a replacement in an enclosure lol.

That's awesome! In the past they were pretty picky about that.

Do you all clone a large drive like this in case of failure?

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
