Saw this yesterday. I’ve been toying with upgrading my storage for a while anyway, grow with my needs rather than scramble when I run out, so just said fuck it and picked up 40tb of refurbished surveillance drives… figure it’s probably not gunna get cheaper for a while, and the used market is gunna reflect the shortage in short order as well, so while I really don’t have the money for it right now, I’d rather spend this amount than spend twice as much (or more) later when I can afford it.
That almost triples my space, so should be plenty until the drives die. And if storage gets cheaper again quickly, well, that’s good too. This was still about what I was expecting to pay already for that storage, so doesn’t feel like a mistake.
