Extremely cheap 8TB drives in Germany (Amazon mistake ?)

Yes, but not at the same price point.  197.38 Euro is the equivalent of $216.84 ... well below the $334.99 price on the US site.    It does indeed seem the Amazon DE site may have these price lower than they intended.

I think Amazon DE is making a mistake here... 200 euro for an 8tb drive with 3 years of support seems extremely low...

 

But they state its a price guarantee so take advantage !!

... these are SMR drives after all.

 

Actually I don't think that's the case.  At least the 10TB version is not -- it's a helium-filled, 7-platter PMR drive.  I think the 8TB is also a sealed helium unit, but haven't found confirmation of that.  Not sure about the smaller units, but I don't think any of them are SMR.   

 

The 4TB and larger units all have rotational vibration sensors designed to improve performance in RAID and NAS systems (the smaller units do not).
