Thanks, I got 25% off at checkout but that brings it down from $10.99 to $8.24. $7.14 would have been 35% off.
Just be careful, Amazon was defaulting to the subscription option for me rather than a one-off purchase, so don't accidentally sign up to ongoing deliveries of this if you don't actually want it.

That's the point. S&S for the additional discount then cancel afterwards.
This.
And yes, 25% off in cart + 10% off for S&S ≈ 35%.
Fair point. I have a bad habit of forgetting to cancel this sort of stuff, so I'm happy to wear my $1.10 surcharge for being a poor OzBargainer. It's still half the price of the supermarkets.
Are these the reason why there's no HDD sales on this year's Prime day?
Probably. Chia netspace has exploded to the point where its not at all viable for people to keep buying hard drives and still make any kind of profit (personally I think this is a good thing). Expect to see lots of hard drive deals in the coming months both secondhand and brand new, as the anticipated growth of Chia in a consumer market pretty much evaporates.
Chia netspace growth has slowed, but it's still growing.

There are probably millions of people out there with a terabyte of free space thinking 'eh, why not?' It certainly doesn't make any economic sense to buy a hard drive for Chia.
Right now a 4Tb (3.6 usable) for $95 will yield around $11 per month in Chia. So you have to run that hard drive (and the PC it's connected to) for almost 9 months just to get the purchase price back. And that's ignoring any power costs, and also that netspace will almost always grow, stretching that 9 months into many years.
I guess I'm basing it on sentiment really. Have you seen any of Seth Estrada's videos? They are excellent for a balanced view on Chia. It was marketed as "farm your spare hard drive space" which of course meant people bought up all the spare space when the coin opened at $1600 per :) The price has since tanked and people realise they cannot compete with that giant netspace competition. Really, this crypto was only ever intended for datacentre size spare capacity - not little people like me with a 4tb drive.
I highly doubt that you could earn $11 a month with 4tb solo farming. Maybe with pools but there aren't any (official, non sketchy) ones yet - the pool protocol is not yet developed. The chia calculator has been proven over and over again that it is just plain wrong. But don't take my word for it - Seth covers it in this video.
I honestly thought there would be HDD Prime deals given the crypto crash and China ban. Guess supply hasn't caught up yet.
Really need one since a drive of mine died last week :(
What size are you looking for? There are some deals around. I think a 4tb external from Officeworks is still $95?
