    Hard drives.... I remember those things... didn't I used to use them before the Great HDD and SSD Extinction of 2025-2026?

    Seriously, I had to replace 2 hard drives in my NAS this year like a bad luck lottery and my hard drives have doubled in price. I was terrified that my NVMe was failing as well.

      12TB is still cheaper than I bought it.

      Yeah I'd prefer it to be even cheaper but the prices for HDDs aren't too bad.

        I bought my 14TB drives 3 years ago for $135 each and now they are like $300...
