WD easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive $129.99 - Best Buy Deal of the Day

One day only, at least for now.

I have 10 of the 8TB and this is the best price I've seen to date. 7 so far have WD Red NAS, 3 with the similar performing White Label drives.

Back-up your back-ups for a good price...

This is the standard sale price for these Best Buy exclusive model drives. Black friday and a month ago.

 

It's CRAZY that the best price I can find (for the internal drive by itself), was 180.00. Pretty much all the reviews I read on the above-mentioned unit "shucked" the case to use the (WD Red) drive independently from the USB interface.

 

Though they have been on sale at times for $129.99 recently and all the way back to 2017, the typical sale price through the year is 149.99 to 169.99. This current sale matches the lowest price that I've seen this drive at. If you need a drive now it's worth looking into.

 

This appears to be the 5400rpm version. Too bad. Was looking for the 7200rpm.
