    And nobody will ever use them because it’s now all for AI

    I quickly bought two 20TB drives and it fucking cost me about $500 each. It was $300 literally months ago

    Fuck AI, we need to burn AI to the fucking ground

      I had to resort to used SAS drives. Which is sad because that’s literally the only component that everyone universally suggests not to buy used.

      At least mine came with a 1 year warranty, and the SMART tests look great for 50,000 powered on hours.

    should arrive sooner rather than later.

    This “article” feels like an ad. It gushes about specs, but makes no mention of price or date of availability to peons without data centers.

    A funny thing about HDDs is that the more they can store, the faster they are.

    Why even promote this? Nobody will ever be able to afford this shit. Had drive prices are going through the roof with AI, even ones half the size are now basically out of prive range

      For not, but eventually the bubble will crash, and the market will be saturated with high capacity drives.

      It’s not a matter of what I can buy now, but what I can buy in the future, and if I have data that the harddrive sizes are growing then I will postpone upgrading soon and wait for the next generations to become available.

    I came in here to make an MC Hammer joke but now I’m kind of blown away by his wiki that he’s released a ton of music since the 90s.

    Damn. Seagate consumer drives are meh. But their enterprise drives sure are something else. I’ve got some SAS Constellation drives from 2016 still spinning lately bc my newer reman drives failed.

    Just need AI to contract significantly so the 20-30TB drives are priced reasonably enough again to get back to filling out my NAS drive slots
