Yes. I just did one on October 30. It had a WD200EDGZ-11B9PA0 in it.
This is the best price I've seen by about $5.

Paid $75 for 14TB, bought two from serverpartdeals, 3 months back. I can't justify paying $270 for $20TB but if it goes down to $199 like some are saying, then it's a good deal.
Apple to oranges. The 14 was used and a known not great drive in terms of failure rate.

Read a thread on this drive with unanswered questions, does this drive have a "5 second head thunk" sound associated with it when shucked?

What is the RPM and SATA standard utilized on the drive when shucked? If it is gimped, is that under all use conditions?

Quote from Adelley :
That's a pretty dang good deal. Was it a price mistake?
No, it was meant to be that price. But I guess they changed their minds when they saw a lot of people flock to it and the next available size (18TB, IIRC) went for $230 "on sale" lol.

why bare HDD is always more expensive than a enclosed USB HDD?
The drives used in the externals may be lower binned drives.

I believe all the modern WD/HGST helium drives have the 5 second thunk. They likely spin at 7200RPM and are SATA 3 (6gb/s). The drives sold in the EasyStore/Elements lines usually have roughly 20% lower performance (both throughput and seek speeds) compared to their enterprise class counterparts.

Well according to WD and Seagate, there's a high demand for them since companies have been using them to "train AI models" there's always a new excuse for them to increase prices, if it's not one of their very few factories being flooded it's chia miners, or suply chain issues, or inflation, etc, now this AI nonsense, it never ends
