SSDs aren't going down in price any time soon.It's time to retvrn
HDDs are overpriced tooit's over
>>109087673HDDs run slower and generate heat and are old usually, find a good deal on a 4tb SSD and keep it for a while is my recommendation
>>109087673retard
>>109087673This just extends the life of my current equipment. Man did I luck out.
>>109087701Wanted to buy another drive to replace an old dying one. Price has doubled in 3 monthsThis shit is not sustainable
>>109088078Just rent cloud storage anon, why would you need to hide your data on local drives?
>>109088142you'll never get my secret scratch-made sweet baby rays recipe, zuck
>>109088078It is sustainable because people keep on buying
Here's a wild idea: how about we stop using media codecs from the 90s?
>>109088078My plan, if this happens, is to just give up.
>>109088264yeah but these people are the top 1%, not the majority, this shit is elitism how does the AAA game industry will keep living with these unprecedented crises
>>109087673You guys remember hybrid drives right? SSHDs? I used to have on on a PS4 and it work great when it came to loading the same game / level over and over
>>109087701*chucks a crate of floppy disks*Enjoy
Fortunately new films, games, software, music, porn are all shit now so there is nothing to hoarde
>>109089180lel
>>109087673Guess what? Spinnan rust drives are also up in price, ya HECK*N DINGUS.
>>109087673i have a drawer full of older SSDs that i upgraded from so im fine for long while
the 14tb drive i bought for $300 now costs over $600
>>109090454WD red buyers are always taking Ls.Nothing new.
>>109087701/thread
>>109090500the cheapest drive >= 14tb is $500
>>109087756Good enough for general usage where don't churn through large amounts of data regularly.
>>109090546Even when HDD prices weren't fucked WD red buyers where paying the same amount for a 14TB as for a 20TB Exos.The fact your showing me cheaper drives just goes to show WD reds STILL have some of the higher per TB prices, it's not excused just because the discrepancy is not as bad.
>>109087673Why are they so shit? Gouging your eyes out with a fork is a comfier experience than running Win11 on a HDD
>>109089180>tech is getting more expensive>Well everything is shit so w-who cares?!Poorfag cope.
>>109087673>It's time to retvrnhe doesn't know :/I'm stacked with HDD's, but they are all older, I'm terrified. Imagine my drives will fail and my poorfag neet ass can't replace them, because $current prices.
>>109090667>win11Have you tried not being retarded?
>>109087701This. I bought a 15TB hdd for 250 euros during the winter, and now I checked its price again, it jumped to 1300 euros. It is unreal. It really is over for data hoarders
>>109091027GRIMRIM
>>109091027>data hoardersYou mean personal computing.
>>109091027You will rent storage space in the cloud (which they will monitor for copyrighted materials you may have uploaded without permission) and you will be happy
>>109087701just steal them
>Manufacturers are not ramping up unit production, but are instead boosting profitability by prioritizing the sale of much higher-priced, higher-density exabytes (e.g., 30TB+ HAMR technology drives).data hoarders btfo
>>109091816If data hoarders want lots of HDD space, they should be hoarding physical silver coins right now, not hardware.No silver = no hardware = no AI.They're gonna be on their knees begging you to give them some silver to even be able to manufacture hardware.
>>109091816hoarders are mentally ill they will buy them anyway if they cantheir main complaint is not even being able to buy them as B2B goes and buys them all immediately
>>109091861Usecase for silver?
>>109091990Electronics (absolutely everything, from washing machines to phones and computers), solar panels.Silver cannot be replaced with anything in these.
>>109091909>hoarders are mentally illOnly a sour grapes retard would make a statement like this about data hoarding now that governments and corporations have gone fully mask-off about their plans to heavily restrict your access to information. You either start grabbing what you can or end up consuming little bits of it from the paywalled, heavily-moderated trough they provide for you and the rest of the goycattle.
>>109092029they are mentally ill they admit it themselves
>>109087673If you're born after 2010 I'm really sorry for you. If you aren't and you haven't bought up anything you could post chia mining craze crash you deserve this.
>>109092258The admissions happened in your hallucinations. There's a big difference between people hoarding data in response to websites being pulled left and right, and some old lady hoarding empty cereal boxes.
>>109091747GRIMRIM
>>109089180>not hoarding a curated collection of the best old movies, music, books and vidyaNGMI
>>109087673anon, I...
>>109087673>My HDDs are starting to have bad blocks suddenly almost one after another>Everything is expensiveIt's over...
>>109092333If you bought them in a batch yeah that's how HDDs tend to die. Good luck anon.
No need to return. I'm still using most of mine I bought years ago because they still work.>>109087756>HDDs run slower and generate heatThat usually isn't a problem if they're used purely for storage and are infrequently use. I have mine powered off until they're accessed.
>>109092274the cereal boxes have more value and could even be in a museum one daythe data hoarders drive will be sold on ebay by the hoarder's kids when he dies
>>109092622The data hoarder's drive is significantly more likely than some cereal box to end up in a museum or selling more on eBay
>>109087673i am glad i bought optical discs
>>109087673What the fuck happened to those double armed hdds that seagate was working on?
>>109092027Why would you use silver when it tarnishes when exposed to air?
>>109094764The silver is inside the circuits, so they aren't exposed to air.Gold is used when there's contact with air.
>>109090454i don't understandminimum wage is $7.25this is per hour>many Americans work more than 8 hours a day, averaging around 9.4 hours daily.8*7.25 is 5858*7 is 406^ 1 week2 weeks = 812>okay but what about eating and bills and shitalright you got mesounds like you'd simply have to save up some money for this for atleast a month
>>109087756HDDs are backup and archive storage.SSDs are for frequent use.4TB fills up in no time.
How do people who can't afford a hdd/ssd even live? If you can't afford a yearly 1-2k expense, you are fucked in so many ways.Data hoarders constantly buying hdd's and filling them up and losing everything to bitort is pure incline.
>>109089180You can hoard old good shit.
>>109088269> muh 90s codecs still work fine for what they do, new shit just bloats everything for no reason
>>109090564> good enough for what? you're paying for the brand name at that point
>>109087701>tf bought a 16tb gold WD drive 2 years agofeels good to have dodge a bullet
>>109095916anon you do have a backup for all those drives... right?
>>109097246That's all well and good until...
>>109095736nobody makes $7.25 anymore. any job that pays less than $12 p/h never gets filled. even then, working fulltime at minimum wage only covered food, gas, and owning a beater-PoS-car. It's always been that way.
>>109087673I never leftHDDs are better when used in conjunction with SSDs
>>109099931don't worry anon, the rotational velocidensity inherent to your HDD will spin out all those errors
>>109088991Made sense when SSDs were much smaller than they are now, but just seems like you're increasing probability of data loss by having two separate storage mediums working in tandem to present one volume.
>>109100077this anon was still here a few years ago, still running dumbass setups
>>109101228If I had the means and the equipment I would try this just to see what the max theoretical throughput I could get out of a raid 0 HDD array. It's probably dogshit
>>109087673I regret not buying 10 white labels 24TB drives in july, nearly pulled the trigger, fml...most stuff is disappearing from the web and hdd prices are through the roof, life is a fucking bitchdon't listen to retads who tells you the internet never forgets, could not be further from the truth
>>109101250>don't listen to retads who tells you the internet never forgets, could not be further from the truthso many niche youtube video from back when it wasnt trash that I enjoyed and that are now gone forever
>>109088078Imo I don't think there's a shortage because data centers don't use those small HDDs and SSDs. It's purely greedy driving the prices up
