Glad I bought drives in december. As long as they dont break, should hold me easily into 2030
Same, went and bought a pair of drives to replace some older ones when I read the first stories about ram last year. Just hope the other drives can hold out.
Bought 60TB around the same time. Think I’m living easy for a while.
Man, this bubble can’t pop soon enough. I’d like to expand to four 16TB drives to replace my aging drives in the next year or so without taking out a second mortgage.
I’m sitting here debating buying three 16TB drives before the price goes up even higher lol, similar type of wavelength
To be honest, I didn’t think there was much remaining consumer demand for HDDs. I know they can scale into the terabytes, but that much data on slower, fragmentable, spinning metal plates seems increasingly unwise in both speed and durability the further you scale.
SSD prices have spiked as well. Everything I’ve looked at is 2-3x the price it was just a month or two ago.
