Specifically the EU (Netherlands). I'm looking at second hand drives, but even those go for €100+ now, with bad sectors and all. Can we organise a collective AI datacenter robbery and doll out some stolen drives? 😁

But every single one is out of stock permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] utjebe@reddthat.com 1 point 4 months ago I see 14 SKUs in stock. They explain how they get stock, just need to be patient. That said, OP is asking for something around 100 EUR which is pretty low and not many enterprises or SMBs will buy drives that small. That just sucks if you need something like 4Tb. They have good deals on 10+ Tb drives tho. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Smurfi@lemmy.zip [S] 2 points 4 months ago Amazing!
