Is it me, or does it not seem like there are many decent black Friday deals on any kind of internal storage whether it be a spinning hard drive or a solid-state device? My last drive purchase was a 16 TB Toshiba enterprise and they paid $225. Black Friday deals. Don’t even come close to this. Except, perhaps, if people are willing to shuck.

I didn’t see many deals, I did grab a couple 16tb’s off serverpartsdeals.com in order to fill up the remaining 2 3.5" bays I have one server. That and a friend of who’s giving up data hoarding sold me 7 slightly used 20tb wd essentials for a bargain, which I’m not going to even shuck those I’ll keep them as offline backups.

I don’t know if it is a “Black Friday” deal but there are two 18TiB manufacturer refurbished options from goharddrive:

I bought the ST18000NM003D last weekend, it arrived Wednesday and it has been great so far. Let’s see how many months or years it will last~

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data – legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they’re sure it’s done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time ™ ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
