I’ll tell you what though, i still have that 290gb WD. It still works. Chucked it under disk tools and ran some deep diags for shits and giggles, no errors found. 24 years old (ditto with an ancient 20gb toshiba that runs the head for a nas). Ya just can’t kill them. I have quantum fireballs in a DOS box that are still trucking
How much for one???
Uhhhhhhhhhhh 3k minimum probablyEdit: this is HARD DRIVE not SSD, so im estimating $500 instead
I think the existing 100TB SSDs are over $10k. Halo products charge a premium.
I just want giant SSD’s for not an insane price. But don’t see it happening anytime soon.
$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!
Lol i remember spending $300 on 200gb hdds. And i got a discount since some buddies and i pooled to get a batch together
It was an exciting time when we finally passed the $1/GB mark.
Those were the days my friend…

$500 would be an insane price. 16TB drives alone are like $300-500 CAD
They’re not even making them yet.
If you have to ask . . .
