Many users are pointing out that the concept is very similar. The product listings are perhaps different?

  yes, OPs one has strictly less listings (diskprices.com does multiple countries).

    Even terabytedeals.com does, you have a drawer in the top-right corner!

Well, for one, the prices are less accurate... ;)

  i tried 5 items. all of the prices are widely off. i just gave up.

    you have to find the "renewed" price somewhat hidden on the amazon page

I've noticed diskprices.com getting increasingly bad with filters, probably because the source data is garbage with Amazon sellers trying to jam all the keywords into titles or descriptions/features..."M.2 USB-C 3.2 PCIE NVME"

It's different in that diskprices doesn't make money for the OP, while it only costed the OP 15$ in claude credits to slopvibe a competitor.

  Nobody wants to compete. I just shared something I use myself, hoping it could help someone else. Of course, to keep it running, I need to make a profit, since the Amazon API alone won't let me discover so many products, and I need to get product info If users won't find anything useful, I will simply put it offline and run it on demand whenever I need a new drive. As many users pointed out, neither DiskPrices' idea nor mine is unique; there are many alternatives with different product listings. It is only a benefit for the users if they have more choice

Neither allow filtering for CMR (vs SMR) or TLC (vs QLC). Neither have a column for Endurance (TBW), or power consumption (load watt, idle watt, RPM...). Both list disks not actually available for purchase (fake prices). Very limited usefulness.

  This is because brands are not 100% transparent on this, they could change how they assemble a specific model based on availability. Amazon doesn't expose this data
