Instead of US owned New Egg, buying from Canada Computers keeps more of your dollars out of the fascist / gangster economy:

Likewise many drive companies - Seagate, Western Digital are US based and owned and are silent when their fuhrer's speaks of annexing Canada.

There are plenty of Taiwan / Korean manufacturers to choose from, eg Samsung.

@Chigaze @NovaNaturalist @chris +1 for MemEx. They’ll also price match.

Also, avoid shingled drives if you’re using them for archival.
