You’re never going to get the best deals on Black Friday. Usually it’s a few weeks before or it depends on the time of year per manufacturer. But Black Friday is a ‘holiday’ to make as much money as possible

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’ve been buying some stuff during the early bestbuy Black Friday deals, including the 14tb WD external for $200.
I just bought these after a few weeks of research. I have to download and dedupe my Google drive before uploading back into my NAS ( and deduping there too)

Been downvoted for linking this before - even though I found it through this sub - but shucks.top tracks pricing on larger sized HDD across some major retailers. Easy pulse check on the market.
