"Any deal on digital memory might be a "get it while you can" proposition, if all the chatter about AI giants buying it up as quickly as they can for their data centers is true. Right now digital memory prices are still very reasonable, and when they go on sale like right now at Amazon, where you can score a massive 18TB Western Digital Elements external hard drive for just $284, it's a smart move to grab one."
"The WD Elements 18TB external hard drive isn't pocket-sized, but it's designed to fit neatly on your desktop, close to your tower or laptop. It's connected via USB 3.0, with retro USB 2.0 compatibility, and while it comes preformatted for Windows, it can easily be reformatted for Mac OS. The 18TB capacity is truly enormous - but you would much rather have more than you need than find yourself coming up short."
AI companies are purchasing large quantities of digital memory, which could drive prices higher, making current deals time-sensitive. An 18TB Western Digital Elements external hard drive is available for about $284 on Amazon, offering significant capacity for backups. The drive connects via USB 3.0 with USB 2.0 compatibility and comes preformatted for Windows while being reformatable for Mac OS. The drive is powered by an included AC adapter. Large-capacity USB drives enable drag-and-drop backups, can remain connected for automated backups, or be stashed away for safekeeping to protect irreplaceable digital media.
