Bare or USB external ? I have one of these 8 TB WD externals. Works well.

This past Xmas sale season, Walmart had a Toshiba 8TB external for
$169. They had it for some weeks, not just Black Friday or Cyber
Monday.
How do they get external drives that are half the price of internal drives?
The new WD 8 TB external USB drive supposedly has a HGST drive in it with the SATA interface replaced with a USB3 interface on the
drive board. Wild.
