    I recently checked on the price of the used 12TB server drive I bought a couple years ago. It was 80 then. It’s 260 now. Same seller.

      Bought a 20 TB external for ~$270 a few months ago. It’s now $400:

      1TB SSD I bought at the end of 2024 for $47 is $142 now

      12TB HDDs were $104 a piece at the same time and are now $300 each.

      Good idea. I just looked at a drive I bought six months ago and it’s up 40% or so. Wish I’d have got two now.

      Three months ago I put two 20TB hard drives in my cart for $350 each. This week I had to pull the trigger on them and they were $420 each
