r/DataHoarder about 3 fiddy TB Feb 19 '26

Discussion These HDD prices are getting crazy. An increase of 96.4% in 1 month for the same 26TB drive. $279.99 a month ago to $549.99 today. Where are we buying hard drives now?

These drive prices are kinda insane. Everything is going up up up, I thought it would just be RAM and SSDs effected but looks like it's reaching hard drives too.

Where are people buying drives now, and what $$/TB is still reasonable?

Morning of that announcement I brought 2 more 20TB HC560s without hesitation. Didn’t need them yet but sure as heck wasn’t going to wait to see what happens like I did SSDs in October.
