Data Hoarder

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.

Does anyone know what the heck is going on with 20TB and 22TB Ultrastar availability? NewEgg has been out for a while and the only ones listed on Amazon are 3rd party vendors who want a lot more than what NewEgg or Amazon would sell them for.

I was hoping that NewEgg was holding back to dump them as a Black Friday or Cyber Monday promo, but no luck.

The price stinks but you can buy direct from WD's store. 24TB is orderable too, but not shipping yet ("1-2 weeks" it says).
