8TB SSD are selling for 2700 dollars!!
PC gaming is returning to the 1980s when a IBM PC costs the equivalent of 9000 dollars
>>107682279When I was young I could buy a loaf of bread for a nickel and a quart of milk for a dime
>>107682279Shit, I have one, I should sell it.
Works in my shithole
>>107682279i paid 750 for mine at the same store op, sounds like a you issue
>>107682722It would not call it "works here", it was 619€ a month ago.
manufactured fomo
>>107682796Isn't it funny how the one with the heatsink is cheaper than the one without?So far every time I checked these have always been around these prices.
>>107682279lol i bought the one on the right for $700 a year ago
I don't care. You don't need more than 250GB for a OS and games.>buth games are 10000GB these days!New games are shit and if you play them you are retarded
>>107683078because you cant remove the heatsinks on some of them which makes them incompatible with loads of motherboards/laptops and external caddies
>>107682279>sellingNobody is buying them
>>107682304Except back then the hardware was actually good quality. Now you pay thousands for a cheap shit GPU just because it has muh magical chip on it
>>107683412skill issue. just resolder the 12vhpwr connector if it burns on your rtx pro 6000 blackwell, what are you, a paraplegic?
>>107683398cloud companies areenjoy renting your disk space
>>107682279I' member when the Samsung 8TB was at $225 and I thought "once it hits $200 I'll pull the trigger"
>>107683482I bought an used Samsung QVO 4TB some years ago for less than 150€ and that was a good deal at the time
>>107683482Do you have a different trigger you can pull?At these prices you might have to...
>>107683494The price for Samsung QVO drives, especially new in the box, have jumped up and I really don't understand why since EVO drives are better and at a lower price.
>>107682279I'm glad I bought my dramless QLC 4TB SSDs when I did. Hopefully the health check stats are real and the thing lasts for another half decade at least.
>>107683556non shit SATA SSDs are not really made anymore. Generally the QVO ones we a little bit cheaper than the EVOs but not by much at all
>>107682279Is that Real (br)
>not using an u.2 to pcie adapterngmi
>>107682722Bought a nearly new 1Tb spare SSD from Vinted two weeks ago, just to be safe. I should secure some DDR4 rams this way but Christmas took a toll from me.
>>107682279I wonder what next..mouse pads? is that the new thing?should I hoard mouse pads?Ok I decided.I am ordering a 5 000 mouse pads right now before it is too late.
Time to start watching then culling the download folder clear some space. Gonna need it heading into 2026
>>107682304Well hold on, hate being a shill, but maybe steam cube might be a way out of the 80s?
>>107683823Valve doesn’t make anything anymore themselves so they are still at the mercy of the Taiwanese fab mafia
>>107683913Valve box is gonna have soldered on ram right ;/
>>107683823Steambox is DOA. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if valve just cancels it.
>>107683412>Except back then the hardware was actually good qualityHow would you know, you retarded zoomer? Hardware failure rates were certainly no better than they are now back then AND stuff became completely obsolete much more quickly. You LARPing fags don't know how good you've had it compared to the 80s and 90s.
>>107683743Wont fit inside my stinpad
>>107683781Just save your downloads to a HDD which is much cheaper per TB, you don't need NVMe to save downloads.
>>107684121>u dont need nice things>btw HDDs are now enterprise only too, enjoy paying $900 for the newest drives or buy used scam chia ones from china
>>107684121modern games require an SSD. If you try to play it from a hard drive it stutters alot worse then they already do
