Data Hoarder

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.

I'm planning to add a few 18TB IronWolf Pro drives to my array, and I've noticed some peculiar pricing on Newegg's current sale. The pricing for other size drives seems off too. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm considering recertified drives from Server Part Deals on Black Friday but also eyeing some new ones. Strangely, 20TB drives are similarly priced. Ideally, I'd stick to the same capacity, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Canadian dollars before tax, just to clear up any confusion. Thanks!
