For today's Black Friday deal, you can grab a WD easystore 20TB external drive at an incredibly low price, knocking off $200 from its $449.99 retail price, allowing you to allow you grab one for a mere $249.99. This effectively brings its price down to around 1 cent per GB — $0.0125 if we're being precise. Despite being a mechanical drive, you're getting a large storage space for cheap, with a two-year warranty. No discount code is needed for this purchase.

That's a great deal for Black Friday, especially considering the drive is shuckable. That means you can pry the HDD out of the external casing and use it for your desktop PC. You should proceed at your own risk, though: Shucking the drive voids the normal two-year warranty, but you do get a capable drive for far cheaper than you normally would.

This WD easystore 20TB drive now costs $249.99 under the Black Friday deal at Best Buy, which typically costs $449.99. Compared to other storage capacities, the retailer is giving an incredible deal on the 20TB variant.

While there are options in different capacities, the easystore 20TB variant gives more space for the money you spend on it, as the 22TB version is only $100 off. Since this is a Black Friday deal, the pricing will also depend on how soon you can grab it, while stock lasts.

The drive needs additional power from an AC adapter bundled with the drive, which gives USB 3.0 speed with a Type-B to Type-A cable. These drives are brand new. WD confirms compatibility with both Windows and macOS. The easystore external drive bundles management and backup software should you be looking for a complete package as a backup unit for your PC.

Best Buy also offers the option to pay for this drive in four installments, bringing the price to $62.50 while keeping the total at $250, but we recommend just buying one outright. Once purchased, you can pick up the drive from your local Best Buy store or have it shipped, depending on your location.

    Just pointing out this title is misleading and should be corrected as it is in fact not 1¢ per Gigabyte.

    "roughly 1 cent per GB"
