Is this the same as the Passport just without the backup software?

I buy them on super sales for around 50-55 dollars. I do slow format on them to zero out the drive , takes I believe about 5-7 hours.

the same vendor as this vendor WD!
Here is example of what I am talking about, ... I got this one for 55.99 dollars and below is the ebay purchase.
I do have other orders where I bought 2 or 3 at a time, but you get the idea. I posted this because it shows one drive and is not confusing with the total price of 2 or 3 of them. Now sometimes I bought a few with WD coupon in some Holiday event that was going on.

You bought it in 2023 where hard drive prices were at their lowest. Now that there is no overstock, we're probably not going to see those prices again until few years into the future.

... are you stupid or something.
I could give newer ones from this year but I bought 2-3 at same time, and it is confusing. I TOLD YOU WD has super sales a few times a year. Maybe I should NOT have posted, I know you mean well, but I told you WD has super sales a few times a year, you don't have to believe me, I thought the ebay purchase would help. ( I guess not).

Saying because I've never seen those sales this year besides the 16TB.

Can you also tell me why SSDs and RAM sticks have increased in price compared to last year?

... yeah SSD's and NVMe's have increased so far this year, around BF they were pretty good. Let's see what Prime Day brings in a week, or Prime day in Nov or black friday or some holiday. I'm looking for prices on NVMe and SSD's to come down too.
These 5tb portables are REFURBS , the other stuff is NEW retail.
You are on SD so you should know the drill, super slick deals don't come around that often, so we jump on them when they come. I did buy some of these wd 5tb portables in feb of 2024 too, with COUPON code during some holiday event. When price drops to 50-60 dollars I jump on it. 80-89 is not a good price but a regular WD refurb price.

How do you find these deals then? Manually visiting the website every day and looking at random deals?
