A true gift.
Mine too, nobody got it delivered.
Not sure when this was but it wasn't in the last month - it never got below 100$ on Staples and with any of the 25$ off "X" coupons still came to 90$ all in - minus a few bucks with rakutenredflagdealsguy wrote: ↑ I paid $59.99 plus tax for my 500GB External SSD.

Not quite. I've just made relationships with the local big boxes, and they know I'm a business purchaser.peteyonline wrote: ↑ Not sure when this was but it wasn't in the last month - it never got below 100$ on Staples and with any of the 25$ off "X" coupons still came to 90$ all in - minus a few bucks with rakuten
Still better than this deal but the point is this is still a good price - you either had your own personal 40$ off 100 coupon or something similar.
Yes.
Thanks.redflagdealsguy wrote: ↑ Yes.
Exactly so your reply to this was completely unnecessary. The guy posts a deal because he feels like sharing with the nice people on these forums - you reply for the sole purpose of letting him/readers know that you bought it for 59.99 - on a deal that wasn't even available to people - ever. So you wanted to brag? Let him know "hey cool deal but I got it for cheaper and at a price that nobody here will get because I'm "special" and I just want you all to know that? Big facepalm.redflagdealsguy wrote: ↑ Not quite. I've just made relationships with the local big boxes, and they know I'm a business purchaser.
Not unlike you'd do with a client or silo'd vendor.
I just emailed Staples for a previous order of $105 minus $25 coupon, they promptly matched their own price, so my cost is $65.peteyonline wrote: ↑ Not sure when this was but it wasn't in the last month - it never got below 100$ on Staples and with any of the 25$ off "X" coupons still came to 90$ all in - minus a few bucks with rakuten

Thanks for sharing OP!
For the 14w, that's challenging. For other makes and models, it's cheaper and faster to go internal when an NVMe slot is available.ThomasChabot wrote: ↑ Would using a portable SSD be a better option than going for an internal with an adapter?
