If you're wondering why you're getting negative votes, it's because Best Buy has had their exclusive WD Easystore 18TB on special for $380 more than once in the past. Don't know the difference between the casing/software, but the drive inside would be "the same".

Too bad I don't have access to their time machines. I can live with the fact it might be 45$ cheaper one day because who knows if it will even be this cheap again with the inflation right now.

Ordered one. Thanks op!

There is an internal one for slightly cheap on Amazon compared to the one you posted.

Seagate Exos X18 18TB Enterprise HDD - CMR 3.5 Inch Hyperscale SATA 6Gb/s, 7200 RPM, 512e and 4Kn FastFormat, Low Latency with Enhanced Caching (ST18000NM000J) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08K98VFXT/ref ... UTF8&psc=1

18 tb

$405 plus tax

Don't take the negative votes personally, RFD is ruthless when it comes to hdd, tvs and phones. Pitch forks come out real quick but it's good that there are few fields in which corporations can't just slap a price and entice us cause we know!

Ships from USA and sold by Maestro Technology.

Pretty sure you'd be charged duties/tax on delivery right? And good luck returning it if there's a problem.

I wonder what's going on.
These are out of region drives meaning no 5 year OEM warranty.

Hyper Mega Electronics replied to my inquiry a month ago and they said that theirs had a valid OEM warranty on them.

YMMV.

Now 434.99. And down from #100+ in best sellers to #63. I guess I am not the only one that bit the bullet last night.

I needed one and I haven't been impressed with my two 16tb and two 14tb seagate ones. All 4 power adapters make a whining noise even when off and the drives are very loud. Hopefully these helium filled ones will be a little better.

Thanks again OP

You say that like you thihk I gave the negative votes. Ass/u/me.

And the missed point is that "all time low" for Amazon doesn't necessarily make it a must-buy price.
