    Made me buy a used 10tb drive recently.

    Screw them all, I will have a place for my data and I won’t pay them a dollar for these shenanigans.

      I’ve got 30tb or so made up of 4 and 10tb used drives. All I’ll buy anymore. In fact, I need to change out of of my parity drives. Hopefully used market is still somewhat affordable.

          I used to pay like $69 for them in the US. Looks like they add a hundred bucks or so to the price…

            Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US

              Thanks, I’ll look there. I usually just go Amazon or Newegg (easy returns if bad) but I’m sure there are better deals out there.

        I have four 8TB drives from last year and 4 externals from my old build that were healthy when they came off the last system.

        I might be a little ragged in 10 years but I’ll still have a disk spinning if they aren’t arresting wireguard users for terrorism by then.
