I get "notify me when in stock" on all the ridiculously low priced models. I would call this a 'tract'.

Sure free publicity but also an influx of web traffic and server load and probably helpdesk tickets on pricing, etc..

$1?

(Finally, I can afford to spec out my TrueNAS Scale rig with 4 each, RAIDZ2 Vdevs of 6 drives each!

This remidnds me of the "good ole days", back when everyone was still trying to figure out how to transition from brick-n-mortar to online retailing. Best buy, circuit city, frys, compusa, newegg, officemax, officedepot, staples(and I'm sure a half dozen more I am missing) Even Sears and Wards. All competing on who could offer the best drive deals. And plenty of price mistakes being an almost regular occurrence on fatwallet and slickdeals.
