minus-squareButterphinger@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·27 minutes agoI have four 8TB drives from last year and 4 externals from my old build that were healthy when they came off the last system. I might be a little ragged in 10 years but I’ll still have a disk spinning if they aren’t arresting wireguard users for terrorism by then.

minus-square4grams@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours agoI used to pay like $69 for them in the US. Looks like they add a hundred bucks or so to the price…
minus-squareAllero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 hours agoQuickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US
