Default Cheap 14TB 3.5'' HDD

Amazon.uk has a rather good deal for the 14TB HDD, (prime day deal):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Elements.../dp/B07Y3KDVZH

The HDD is shuckable (can be extracted and used internally) as well.

Targeted to all those complaining "I don't have 10GB free on my SSD to store all those proofs", 14TB should take care of that space problem.

How much is it? Why so coy about saying the price?

How much does it cost to become a member? Is the combined cost more than the normal price?

I don't know the price as it depends on which amazon storefront you buy it from (US, AU, etc).

But doing the straight currency conversion, it comes to 240 USD to me. It's also 300 AUD in AU. And 185 pounds in UK.

Interesting, $300 AUD which includes 10% GST, is only $215 USD, so it's complicated.

Okay. I was just hoping for something like:

It's GBP185 for me which is x% less than the normal price of GBPxyz. But I have to be a prime member which costs me GBPwxy.

Then people on other areas can do their own conversions for their own currencies.

Evil lair located in UK?

In my case: I'm already prime member so the marginal cost of that is zero, but otherwise it's a few bucks per month (again, it depends). May even be free for a trial. And comes with free international shipping. Really good price for the HDD IMO (otherwise, why'd I push people like this on the forum).
