The Sandisk Ultra 3D (and the WD Blue 3D which is the same drive) have both been right at $200 on sale several times this year (like Newegg email coupon codes).

The Samsung 860 EVO is the fastest, and I believe this is the lowest price I've seen it at so far: https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0786QNSBD

Cyber Monday was never good, it's been awful since day one.
I find it better for weird stuff. A video card, or ssd is not going to happen. But for something like a 7.1 surround sound system, a car subwoofer, an LED pest scarecrow - yes much better. Some odd things can hit 70-80% off on Cyber Monday. But it's not the mainstream stuff like TVs or PS4s. If want to grab a mousepad with Deadpool's voluptuous ass as a hand rest, Cyber Monday is my time to buy.

I want a decent storage drive, 6TB to 12TB, not a piece of junk Seagate.
I got a 10tb WD Red drive for $160 last year from BestBuy. Looks like they're selling the 12tb white label drives for $180 this year. They're external, but easily shucked.

Does anyone miss the old "Instant Rebate" Black Friday sales that they used to have at Staples? You used to be able to get a lot of hardware for more than half off if you were willing to fill out the rebate forms for it.

The modern Black Friday sales at Staples or Best Buy aren't half as good as those were.
