What’s going on with HDD drive prices on Newegg?! (Canadian Dollar Prices)
I'm planning to add a few more 18TB IronWolf Pro drives to my current array and I noticed a dramatically odd set of pricing for this year‘s Black Friday sales since I currently have 18 TB drives I’m not looking to spend on 20 TB drives but looking at the other priced hard discs I am very astonished to see that certain drives are priced incorrectly when somebody were priced a lot lower a few months ago! (Example: 10TB Ironwolf Pro’s used to go for $310 Canadian Dollar a few months ago now is over $400!)
I noticed that American sites have these for far cheaper, but the import fees and shipping just seems to be too expensive for me. I’m planning to probably wait until server Park deals runs a black Friday sale (from some of the communities opinions it seems like they don’t often do a massive one…) someone’s starting out with their media server and have a few cold storage discs. I kind of find it hard to believe that these are the best prices these storefront can give us…
Do any canadian data hoarders have any better ideas on where I should purchase from? I just can’t believe that these discs are so expensive!

Black Friday deals are not deals anymore. I often find better prices at random times of the year. I'm also in Canada, and nomatter where I look hard drives are always on "sale" a 20tb is listed at around 800 bucks regular hahaha. 22.50 per TB is a regular sale basically. Pre pandemic western digital had a sale where some were 18.50 per TB but I haven't seen those prices ever since. This summer 18 TB wd went down to 22.70 per TB for their sale. Sales seem to be dictated by the manufacturer so doesn't really matter where you shop. They have the same price.
