What’s the catch? This is the best deal I can find on the internet by a fair margin. This seller has an amazon store page as well and seems to have a good reputation on both. The seller claims its a new HDD from a reputable brand and offers a 5 year sellers warranty.

Edit: I have had 2 out of 3 ordered drives fail on me from this order. The seller was good about offering a refund. But I wouldn’t use these drives without at the very least some kind of redundancy if not a full backup.

    Yeah, I’ve went ahead and ordered 3. I’ll try to remember to post here if I have any issues.

      Probably a little late now, but make sure you use a service that works with the guarantee like a credit card. I don’t think it works with PayPal but don’t quote me on that.

        Thanks for the response. I used PayPal for the purchase. I could still probably cancel the purchase for the next little bit if needed. I know its pretty easy to contest an order with PayPal as a last resort. Link to paypal’s dispute policy

        I’m also posting this so that others looking for a deal on prime day can see it and the community can critically examine the listing. So it may be useful for others.

          Was PayPal the only option to buy it?

            I realized I probably should have added more context so I’ve edited the above post a soon as I posted.

            It looks like the seller also accepts Apple Pay and credit card.
