Just got 12TB IronWolf last week for an average price if 260euro. Delivery is long but other than that, price is average.

Checked just right now - average 310euro for the same HDD. From the place I picked mine - 293. SCORE!

Thinking about this for a minute - that's probably pre-Black-Friday prices. We'll see

    Imagine how I feel right now, I bought 16 used 20tb Seagate drives around September last year for $200 each, from Amazon, and finally built my dream NAS after a decade of waiting and planning. I don't understand how I got so lucky but I did. They're all working just fine, and I somehow avoided having to wait another decade to finally build my NAS due to random capitalism gold rush bullshit. Praise be.
