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'm in Canada. In August, I bought the WD easystore 14TB for $299 (Best Buy). The current "Black Friday" price is $399.
Err, the current black friday price for the 14tb WD easystore is $239 CAD at Bestbuy.ca and being matched by others and has been ongoing for several days. The thread for the deal is many pages long at redflagdeals.
For those not in the know we have a website in Canada, extremely popular called redflagdeals. I don't think I am allowed to post the full link. Want to know about any consumer level deal as well as millions of other things - it is the place. The Hot Deals forum section is a daily staple in the lives of millions of Canadians.
