    I guess my combined 12TB across five drives ranging in age from 13 to six years old will have to suffice. The only reason I’d need to buy a new drive is if a couple of my current drives die. Which does happen on occasion, of course.

    Also, fuck AI, and the assholes who made it, and everyone who currently, personally profits off it. This bubble popping will be the catalyst to take down the entire world economy. MMW.

      Yeah fortunately mine are all in RAID arrays, hopefully none die in the next year or I may have to run degraded.

      Just in case: https://serverpartdeals.com/ Still the same sort of prices you expect, but decent warranties on re-certified enterprise HDDs.

      Oddly, I’ve never had an HDD or SSD ever die on me. I’ve got old ass ones that aren’t even a GB that I’ve torn apart and thrown away. My oldest SSD just got removed and put in a cabinet because 256gb is just too small.
