Everything is digital now, and a need for more and more storage is commonplace, but having large, friendly storage options that are readily available at a moment's notice and won't cost you a kidney isn't as common. You can back up many things to the cloud, but that requires a good connection, available storage capacity, and the right devices. Plus, why complicate things when you can just grab your trusty portable HDD and connect via USB and backup or transport 5TB of data for the lowest price we've seen this portable HDD on sale for?

Head to Amazon to find this great deal. You can pick up Western Digital's WD Elements 5TB portable HDD for just $89,a reduction in price of $50 from the original $139 MSRP list price. The Camelizer price checking tool shows the average price of this drive is $115, with today's price drop equalling its all-time low price of $89. So if you're in the market for some portable extra storage then this could be the deal for you.

    Same here, not seeing the price mentioned in the article. Unless the author was talking about the Used Like New option where it is $87.29. But I'd be shocked if Toms Hardware was advocating used hard drives. If the author indeed meant the used option, that should have been clearly stated in the headline of the article.

    Looks liked it hit $89.99 for just a few select hours in february, as well as the Jan 8 date you mentioned. Here's hoping we get another shot! :)

    Thanks for the CamelCamelCamle tip..... totally forgot about it, but I went ahead and set a trigger so I don't miss the price drop in the future!
