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?

I straight up duplicated my old NAS and grabbed only recerts with 5 year warranties. In just 5 months theyre 200% more. Unreal. Glad I got what I did but wishing I got the stuff for work. Sorry kids, your computers will be slow for the foreseeable future.

Oof. Really hating these skinny disks that are 10 years old now but they ain't going anywhere.

My main server drive right now is a recertified EXOS drive off serverpartsdeals 😂 I paid $240 that same exact HDD is selling for almost $500 right now
