This is giving me serious pricewatch.com vibes. RIP.
For the youngsters out there: In the late 90's and early 00's, pricewatch was similar to this, except multi-vendor and supported searches for a wide array of components, e.g. CPU, Mobo, RAM. Ended up being a major driver in enabling Newegg to quickly grow so big and dominate; back then, Newegg consistently had the very best prices on the most in-demand chips like AMD Thunderbirds.
p.s. Do some HDDs really only come with a 3 month warranty?
Some of these are sold as "Enterprise" grade drives. Does this site index used disks, or how is this possible?
Edit: Now I see it, thank you @BugsJustFindMe (it's tricky to notice all columns on mobile).
22TB is still the max? Guess I'll just wait for 30T :)
Those ones are marked as "used". It's an interesting idea because drives follow a bathtub curve for failures, so presumably gently used could be significantly better than new.
Most are marked "renewed". Many probably are near new. But yeah, I was a bit dis-illusioned to see the EXOS drives I love's prices were too good to be true, were "renewed".
I did pay $379 per 16TB EXOS back in early COVID as drive prices were spiking (it got much worse!). That they are $250 not-renewed is still great. But yeah, the $189/per price is renewed only, too good to be true. Still, I'm tempted. 25% off. These drives will probably be fine. Three riskier drives plus a free "spare"? That's a tempting trade off versus a real warranty. And if it does fail very early, I can probably get it sorted, probalby.
