And nobody will ever use them because it's now all for AI

I quickly bought two 20TB drives and it fucking cost me about $500 each. It was $300 literally months ago

Fuck AI, we need to burn AI to the fucking ground

I had to resort to used SAS drives. Which is sad because that's literally the only component that everyone universally suggests not to buy used.

At least mine came with a 1 year warranty, and the SMART tests look great for 50,000 powered on hours.
