Saw this today when I was in my local Sam's. 7% sales tax where I live put this at $106.9x, or around $26.94 per terabyte.

Its not the cheapest per terabyte cost, but its the cheapest you'll find a new 4 TB hard disk. I don't know if they're shuckable or not, if they are, they'll be a good buy for building a storage server as long as you're willing to buy one or two extra for replacement drives.

They have a two-year warranty.

The drives are just WD Greens, apparently, just formatted one for my Linux fileserver - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236604

It should be noted, for those that are unfamiliar, that Sam's Club is a (paid) membership warehouse operation of Walmart.

So you need to factor the membership cost into the total price for this item, if you are not already a member.

Edit: pretty good deal though. Newegg has had Samsung D3 Station drives (5TB for $119.99) that are shuckable. (They are crap otherwise.)

I really need several of these for external backups. Hrm...

You can try reusing the coupon as well.

From what I've read, they don't really check.
