18TB Easystore for $199 back in stock at BestBuy

I just checked two random locations and they're available for pickup. They were mostly unavailable earlier this week, so it seems they were holding back stock for day and possibly Cyber Monday.

I personally won't buy externals anymore because of the following, but may worth it for some of you. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/146hb9k/information_about_cmr_to_smr_manufacturer/

Serverpartdeals has 20tb exos for $220.
- Sold out sadly :-(
- Yep, just bought 2 of these from them 👍👍
  
  Aren't these "seller refurbished "? Are those reliable? Maybe reliable enough?
  
  These are manufacturer recertified. My understanding is that manufacturer recertified is the same quality as original, but potentially higher QC since it was manually checked as part of the recertification process.
  
  They do also sell seller refurbished though, and those I don’t know much about.
  
  Great to know, thank you. I will do some reading up on people's experiences with the recertified drives.
- Newegg has then new for 269.99
