Today for $279 at Western Digital's online store you can snag a 20tb Elements, which is ~$14/tb. But!

If you sign up for Rakuten, you get an additional 10% cashback, which makes it $251.1, or ~$12.50/tb. But!

If you also have a referral code from somebody you know, or somebody you don't, you also get $30 off, which brings it to $221.1, or $11.05/tb. And bonus to whomever refers you, they also get $30 cash!

Rakuten makes money by collecting and selling your shopping info (ala cookies), so it's not free money, but let's face it, just about everybody already sells your data anyway, so you might as well get something back for it.

Lmk if you need any help figuring it out, but every penny counts when you're building your array - thanks and you're welcome!
