      $500 for 120TB!?

      I spent about $1200 for 100tb of spinning rust for one of my NAS boxes. Please tell me where I can get 20% more for 40% less!

      For clarity, at the $240 per 20tb CMR drive, assuming no inflated cost due to novel production processes, it would be around $1440 for one drive. I’m going to assume ~$1600 minimum. Also, I’m not going to buy one until they can prove it doesn’t have the same issues as shingled drives.

          It was an exciting time when we finally passed the $1/GB mark.

            Those were the days my friend…

            I’ll tell you what though, i still have that 200gb WD. It still works. Chucked it under disk tools and ran some deep diags for shits and giggles, no errors found. 24 years old (ditto with an ancient 20gb toshiba that runs the head for a nas). Ya just can’t kill them. I have quantum fireballs in a DOS box that are still trucking

      $500 would be an insane price. 16TB drives alone are like $300-500 CAD

      I just want giant SSD’s for not an insane price. But don’t see it happening anytime soon.
