    Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?

      I don’t know about HDDs but for SSDs they hit a very low price last September 2023, and the companies decided to cut production so the prices go up again. It worked, today SSD drives are more expensive than last year. I bet they did something similar to the HDD, but it’s only hypothetical.

      I feel like we may have hit a temporary halt on memory getting cheaper. I have an 8TB HDD and the prices of them have remained remarkably steady for how long I have had it.
