Wow, hard disk prices are complete nonsense now. When I last upgraded my NAS' storage, I bought three 4 TB disks. That was just over 11 years ago. The exact same model is still for sale and costs about twice as much.
@david_chisnall yep, I have 2x4Tb drives in my "NAS" and one of them started giving out NAS errors.
One of the 4tb drives costed me 123€ in 2013. I've spent 223€ in the replacement.
HECK, a 2.5" external USB 4Tb drive in 2019 cost me 112€!
This is insane. I got lucky with RAM and bought a 32gb desktop *and* expanded my other desktop to 32gb before prices started going up, but my NAS situation is pretty dire...
@david_chisnall I have to say that there's always a convenient excuse to jack prices up. This has happened with many natural disasters- maybe some caused supply chain issues, but I'm... suspicious.
