I had purchased first 12TB drive for 4 bay NAS last summer. These are fuckton expensive so couldnt get all 4. I finally saved up and bought 2nd 12TB drive to get to RAID 1 for redundancy. Not even month passed, WD reports no more drives. Shop where I got one reports out of stock. FUCK!

Fuck AI and fuck big tech. I got my 12tb cloud and will give you 0 money in near future.

    Realistically it's worse than that right? Where is your second and third 12tb drive for back ups? Raid is a nice to have but meaningless when it comes to back ups.

    Most of my storage is media - movies and series. Immich, Nextcloud and personal files take little less than 300GB. I do backups weekly to NAS storage, monthly to storage SSD in my PC and to an external HDD. I am looking into way to somehow be able to backup to a rpi3 that I have installed at my father's place. This might cover my 3-2-1 needs, just need to figure out that 1.

    Yeah. I have a RAIDz2 on super old version of FreeNAS. 8x4TB.

    I’ve been needing to upgrade for about a year now. I’ve been waiting for the prices to go lower…. News about WD forced my hand for 8x18TB. Not $$ I was looking to spend, but fomo that my upgrade could now be much further away pushed me to just do it. :(

    I had two 20TB drives in my cart three months ago for $350 each. Today they’re $420

    Drives have always been more expensive where I live due to taxes and extra "pirate taxes" they stick on anything you can store data on. But now they are even worse, so sad. $589 for 16TB Toshiba N300 was the cheapest "new" ones I could find at a glance.

    I needed up buying these $420 20TB Ironwolf Pro drives from Microcenter, so see if you can order online from there.

    Sadly the import taxes from the states would almost double it. I think I can find somewhat cheaper drives in Germany if I looked hard though.

    You can still go with unraid and buy more, smaller drives. Buy used SAS drives and an HBA. I recently bought a refurbished Dell optiplex with 32 gigs of ram and some i5 processor off eBay for 100€. SAS drives are really loud and consume more energy than consumer HDDs, but they last very long and are way cheaper.
