Has anyone seen any non-SSD external or internal storage drives on sale this BF?
Doesn't anyone use mechanical hard drives anymore?

What gives?

Why didn't the OP look at the Newegg ad before asking why there are no deals?

Edited to add: just checked out Newegg. meh.

They do not retain data as long as hard drives.
It is good for every day but not for long term storage.
