>even 1tb hard drives cost 120$+
>500gb ssd costs 170$

This is fucking ridiculous, I'm seeding over 2000 torrents and I can't afford any replacements, these greedy fucks finally found a way to kill piracy. I'll turn everything off except for my laptop I use for browsing, at this point I'll pray that they'll all go bankrupt and China will dominate the market.

Computer parts used to be affordable and quickly decrease in price. A 20TB HDD costs more than it did 5 years ago. This is a generalized trend. Makes you think.

Should've stocked up, the signs were there for months.
I bought 44TB in HDDs and 5TB in NVMe storage before prices spiked too high (the SSDs were criminal compared to early 2025 prices but cheap compared to 2026 prices). Total price paid was about $1300.

Bought four 4TB NVMEs for $400 each in November. They're worth $1500 each now.

Nope, it is planned and you will be priced out by 2030. You probably voted for this anyway.

Same with most if not all storage mediums. You could look at used markets, sometimes there's good deals to be found. Consoombrains still pay the higher prices so no reason to lower them.
