Here is another sensational offer for a Seagate 14-terabyte External Hard Drive for $149.00 (after $50.00 OFF) delivered. From the Costco Online Savings Catalog for the 11/21/2023 to 12/17/2023 time frame. Too much to pass up! I recently bought an 8-terabyte External Seagate from Costco Online for $99.00 delivered. It was a bit slow in loading up around 5 terabytes of backup data but it responds okay when opening photofiles and videos. If the 14-terabyte offer endures the test of time, it is a great all-encompassing, long-term backup drive (don't drop it......).   8)
