Where the prices come from
Indexed sources have an adapter that can supply prices; current offers depend on configuration and availability. Best Buy requires its API configuration before it can supply prices. Merchants listed for context or future coverage are shown separately. Affiliate tracking and possible link conversion are derived from configuration, not confirmed earnings.

Deepest supply of used and recertified enterprise SAS. Prices move hourly and sellers vary wildly in quality, so every listing is filtered before it is allowed to set a price.

Marketplace sellers list bare enterprise drives here at prices that periodically undercut everyone, with far less visibility.
conditions: new · www.walmart.com
Strong on high-capacity nearline drives, with no sales tax in most states, which changes the real landed cost.

Overlaps B&H on nearline drives, so the two are worth comparing on landed cost.
conditions: new · www.adorama.com
The best in-store storage pricing in the US, but stock is per-store and there is no affiliate program, so it is listed for reference rather than revenue.
conditions: new, renewed · www.microcenter.com
The reference price for recertified enterprise drives with a real warranty. If a used eBay listing is not well under SPD, it is not a deal.
conditions: new, renewed, used · serverpartdeals.com
High-volume recertified seller, usually the floor on older nearline capacities.
conditions: renewed, used · www.goharddrive.com
OEM-coded enterprise drives — the Dell, HPE and NetApp firmware variants that generic retailers do not carry.
conditions: new, renewed · www.disctech.com
Direct store, including factory-recertified Exos sold with a warranty — the honest comparison point for any used Exos listing. No consumer affiliate program exists; Seagate's only partner program is a B2B reseller/VAR channel, not a fit for a content site.
conditions: new, renewed · www.seagate.com
Direct store for Ultrastar, Red Pro and Gold. Runs steep periodic sales that beat every retailer for a few days at a time.
conditions: new, renewed · www.westerndigital.com
Micron's direct channel — the price floor for Crucial SSDs and the most reliable source for server RAM compatibility data.
