This table mixes new, recertified, refurbished, and used HDD offers and sorts them by $/TB. Use the Condition column to check whether a second-hand row is actually cheaper than the new rows around it. The median cards above compare up to 100 matching offers per side, so one unusually cheap listing does not define the page.
New HDD offers are compared with refurbished, recertified, and used HDD offers from the tracked retailer set using median $/TB. A refurb or used row is only a better price when its $/TB is below the new-condition benchmark or comparable new rows.
These pages update from the tracked market data used by ListofDisks charts and capacity pages. Product pages may include additional current retailer offers.
