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.
fuckit, RAM is unfordable. imma use a 44tb Disk drive instead of RAM.
Hard drives have increased significantly in price as well
>:(
A funny thing about HDDs is that the more they can store, the faster they are.
Sure sure sure. They can be had for the low low price of $18k and available 2029….
And don't forget if you lose a single drive the rebuild time on your RAID array will be over a week.
Oh god, I hadn’t even thought of that. Lol
Just need AI to contract significantly so the 20-30TB drives are priced reasonably enough again to get back to filling out my NAS drive slots
Why even promote this? Nobody will ever be able to afford this shit. Had drive prices are going through the roof with AI, even ones half the size are now basically out of prive range
Best I can do is 5TB for $189. - amazon_pawn_stars_meme.jpg
Damn. Seagate consumer drives are meh. But their enterprise drives sure are something else. I've got some SAS Constellation drives from 2016 still spinning lately bc my newer reman drives failed.
Meanwhile Pure Storage is cranking out the 300TB NVMe DFMs
I came in here to make an MC Hammer joke but now I'm kind of blown away by his wiki that he's released a ton of music since the 90s.
should arrive sooner rather than later.
