How often does Newegg have Shell Shocker price drops?

Question

Ive been a Newegg regular for over a decade and usually I can time my builds around the shell shocker deals pretty well. Im currently trying to put together a cheap $450 home server for my neighbor and I need a decent deal on some high capacity drives.

But man it feels like the deals havent rotated in forever? I remember it used to be every morning at 10 am PT but lately its been the same refurb laptops and random cables for days on end. Did they change how often they actually drop new prices for the shell shocker stuff or am I just checking at the wrong times now?

Dude, I totally love building home servers! It is honestly the best feeling when you snag an insane deal on high-cap drives. It really does feel like they rotate the same old refurb junk way too often lately though, super annoying. The 10 am PT refresh is still the main drop time but here is what I do to actually find the good stuff:Set alerts for specific enterprise brands like Exos or IronWolf since they sell out in secondsCheck the Newegg app's exclusive section because sometimes they hide the best drive deals there to push app downloads I also started using PriceDropCatch to track specific SKU price history and it is amazing for timing things! It saves me so much time clicking refresh all morning. Good luck with the neighbor's build, hope you find those 14TBs or whatever you're hunting for! Its gonna be a beast.

> Did they change how often they actually drop new prices They still refresh daily at 10 am PT tho. Honestly, those high-capacity enterprise drives sell out instantly now. I usually refresh right at the drop to catch the best TB-per-dollar deals.
