How much for one???
Uhhhhhhhhhhh 3k minimum probably
Edit: this is HARD DRIVE not SSD, so im estimating $500 instead
Edit 2: im bad at this
$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.
Lol i remember spending $300 on 200gb hdds. And i got a discount since some buddies and i pooled to get a batch together
Finally, all of my homework on one drive.
Man, I remember when someone on reddit got mad upvotes for saying “5tb hard drives don’t exist” in response to me, as the external 5tb hdd I was using sat 2ft away from me.
And here we are looking at the [BRAND] advertisement for 120TB drives.
I remember when I got my forst 120gb drive. I happily installed it on my win 2k and… bios didn’t like it, OS didn’t like it and read its capacity wrong. I forget if I used windows or linux but after I cut the drive into 2x60gb it worked great
I’m pretty sure they were referring to how the more common sizes are 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 TB and so on. 6 is semi-common. 5 is relatively rare, so they probably didn’t realize they exist.
I own a couple of 5TB drives. At the time when 8TB and above were rare and expensive, it wasn’t that strange.
… from a homelab pov I should start comparing dB/TB …
Oh oh… I feel the sudden urge to start hoarding stuff and hosting an IPFS node 😅
