This pricing data was collected on 2015/03/15 from Newegg.com. I filtered by 3.5” drives and by each capacity they offered, sorted by lowest price, and have listed the lowest price drive in each capacity offered. I’ve put them in a spreadsheet and added a column showing the price per TerraByte, and sorted by that. This will give you the absolute best deal (best if price per TB is your main criteria) as the first drive listed and the worst price at the bottom of the list.

Here’s how to put your mind at ease to ensure you’re getting the best price on hard drives:
Hard drive prices change daily, so the actual price data I’m showing here is only relevant for a month, at best. So use the technique in the linked article above to find your best prices from your favorite store at the time you need it.
Here’s a readable screenshot of today’s best prices per capacity available on Newegg.com:
The following is not as readable, but at least the links are clickable, unlike the image above.
