$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.

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

I think the existing 100TB SSDs are over $10k. Halo products charge a premium.
