Where are you seeing $1 100GB hard drives, or $10 1TB ones?
- zamfi 3y agoNowhere, of course -- but 20TB drives can be had for a bit over $300 these days, that's $15/TB, not too far off.
- epcoa 3y agoOk granted since last time I bought prices have shifted significantly, HDD prices up. A reputable (verbatim) brand of 25 BDXL is $250, and a Seagate 20TB $320 (tho $280 if you’re willing to go OEM). I did not mean to exaggerate, but this is still a crazy per GB cost differential for what is basically some plastic and dye.
