@mathowie@xoxo.zone Oh wow. They sure are going up. I looked up an 8TB drive I acquired back in February that was selling for $210 back then and it's now $340 in just a few months. That's nowhere as extreme as that 24TB drive obviously, but it shows that we're looking at a bad trend here. I thought their harddrive usage at least wasn't scaling all that much, but I guess they just are afraid to delete anything in all the sto- I mean scraped data so it's just building up and up?

@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social @mathowie@xoxo.zone I think it's more that Ai's effect on SSD prices means more storage customers are choosing spinning rust over solid state, giving a secondary demand surge and associated price increases.
