I get paid on the 27th, I need two more 8TB drives to complete my NAS, my local retailer had 50+ in stock earlier this week, and now the drives are no longer even listed.

Fuck sake...

I bought 2 8TB drives last week and had to check if they were still in stock at the same retailer and they are, but the price have gone up with 23%...

I do see that another retailer has drives in stock, but at about 40-50% more than I paid back in October

I just bought a few WD drives direct, but their web site has a problem with validating virtual credit card numbers. I'm the few days it took to resolve it the price went up. Fortunately since I had the support ticket I was able to get refunded the difference.
