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 (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Just picked up a WD Easystore 18TB external from Best Buy yesterday for $199. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-18tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/6427995.p?skuId=6427995
The Amazon.de "Black Friday Week" price of the tracked disk is 306.99 EUR. So basically back to the price of 2 month ago before the extreme price hike. No "deal", just people who had to buy during the last 2 months go to pay a lot extra on top of it.
Dunno how the "Easystores" match of with the "Elements" or what the exact difference is, but 199 USD at least sounds like a deal. :)
