    $200 for 8TB back in 2022

    $545 for the same damn drive now.

    I’m actually glad I went a little crazy buying storage back then, sitting on 40TB locally, but I recoil at the thought of replacing any of them.

      Friend of mine has an ssd fail. Amazon refused to replace and instead gave him a a refund. He only got half of what it now costs back. Insane.

      I’m pretty sure $15/TB for HDDs was considered the standard not too many years ago

      Edit: the last time I bought an HDD (2023) it was 20 TB for $280, so $14/TB.
