WD’s 8TB desktop HDD stores it all at a low of $120 shipped, more

$140 $120

Newegg is currently offering the WD Elements 8TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive for $119.99 shipped when the code 93XPD3 is used at checkout. Down from its $140 going rate, Amazon has it at $125 right now and this beats our last mention by $1 for a match of its all-time low. Offering up 8TB of storage, you’ll easily be able to store just about every picture that you’ve ever taken, plus videos, documents, and more. Whether you’re wanting to set this up as a Time Machine for your Mac or shuck the external enclosure to expand a NAS, this external drive is perfect for the job. Rated 4.4/5 stars.


Update 11/6 @ 4:15pm: We’ve just spotted the WD 1TB My Passport USB-C/3.1 SSD for $139.99 shipped at Amazon. Note: shipping is currently delayed from 1 to 4 weeks. That’s $30 off the typical rate there and beats the lowest Amazon offer we have tracked by $10. Rated 4.4/5 stars.

Now, if 8TB is a bit much for you, there are smaller and more budget-friendly options around. Seagate’s 4TB portable HDD is available for just $90 right now. Offering up extreme portability, this drive is ready to go wherever you do, no power adapter required.

For expanded storage capabilities, check out our recent hands-on with Synology’s DS620Slim. This tiny NAS can support up to 24TB of storage, making it a great hub for your Plex server, centralized Time Machine, and more.
