This is more of just a heads-up that if you buy this you might want to hang onto the packaging/box in case a better deal comes up and you end up doing an exchange.
Don't forget Amex has $25 off $250.
Also GCGranny or CardBear can give you 7% off Best Buy gift cards.

Of note for this and the 18TB model it says "black friday deal" which normally means @ BB that the price won't be lower by black friday (cyber monday however might count as something else, but I've not seen that with BB in my time of buying drives there...) I was hoping for a deal on the 22/24s but I'm in for two to use my $10 BB cert, $25 AMX credit ($250+ so don't forget to add a filler if you're only getting one!) to replace a pair of aging 8TB externals on my plex server. (12.50 a TB is also likely to be a better price than you'll see next year in the US market I fear...)

If you're using these for Plex then I assume they're shuckable?

Still have six 8tb shucked drives going after 6+ years.

Really, if you have the desktop space (and nothing that will knock things over!) there's no reason not to use externals for pretty much any content that you'd stream on a gigabit ethernet connection with modern USB speeds. The only reason you'd want to not use an external is if you're doing any raid style outside of a raid-1 full mirror (because I'm a bit insane I mirror with a task schedule, hence replacing the drives in pairs, if I do remove the 8s from the desk I'll have 10 externals on this system you take a bit of an available space hit but the ease of upgrading kept me from doing a box of disks.
Again it's an excellent drive platform, and even though I got my last 18TB for 199 last BF I'm not mad at this price.
When these get full time to upgrade my 8tb drives... probably next black friday
