is there anything like a decently priced drive anymore? I went to look up a 16TB drive as I’ve been running out of space with what I’ve been…. backing up and they’re running around $700. I paid $350 just a year ago. There’s no way this can be sustainable. I was working to build out my NAS but I’d literally be looking at almost $8000-$10000 in drives alone.

I’ve been taking my chances with refurb 6TB SAS drives since at about $120 they cost what my new 6TB drives cost 4 years ago. Im just trusting in the ZFS gods to never let me be more than 2 drives down at once.
