QuestionThe 8TB HDD was sold at Best Buy as "Best Buy Deal of the Day" for $139 with a normal price of $149. Three years later the HDD has a normal of $175.99 and on sale at Best Buy for $159. Shouldn't electronics "decline" in prices with time, not increase?
Asked 1 year ago by MichaelZ.
- Answer Im not a wiz on all types of devices but recently bought this hard drive! I did some research and found that the good ol fassion “supply and demand” conversation is the culprit for these devices increasing in price. Everyone wants more storage today. Everything is getting smarter and requiring more storage space. The demand is high so the price goes up. Same with toilet paper and masks in crazy events. I’d say it’s still worth it if you really need it.

QuestionWhy is the 8TB Hard Drive being sold as a "Best Buy Deal of the Day" for $159, with Best Buy claiming the "normal price" is $174.99? That information is 100% FALSE! This item normally sells for $149, and has been on "Deal of the Day" for $139 before!

- Answer Supply and demand unfortunately. Like everything else. The demand for storage today is evident which is driving prices up.

QuestionIf I'm not using it for long periods of time should I unplug it from the wall or just always leave it plugged in?
Asked 2 years ago by Beatle4sale.
- Answer I'm not an expert, but i'm in the habit of ejecting and unplugging when i'm not using. I think keeping it connected all the time may possibly wear it down, but just a theory. I know I've read that you should use tech at least periodically, so i try to use at least 2x / month.
