Cannot read this article (requires subscription without allowing cookies), but have seen a couple of german stores mentioned in another one. Those are most likely small shops (just online or garage) which get the cheapest stuff they can and sell with some margin. So I've had to idea to look at Alibaba, and voila: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Seagate-Exos-ST16000N...

That seems to be too cheap to be true.

Wow. Heise takes #1 prize in most anal advertising consent form. Literally a individual reject button for every one of their billion individual ad partners and consent to advertising as a whole has only an Accept button. At that point you may as well just cover the entire screen with a "Agree to anything" button

It’s unlawful. Feel free to report them.
