Using shear willpower, I haven't upgraded shit (read "computer components") since AI hit the fan, but now I literally need more storage. Period. So, like I used to do before we decided to throw media literacy, critical thinking, hardware and software craftsmanship out the window, I went to my go to hardware store and an 16TB 3.5' internal HDD still costs $900 new. Wai. What has the little person done to deserve this. Whatever. I'll watch some Black Mirror now.

Serverpartdeals has new Seagate 16GBTB drives for $520 which still isn't great, but better than $900. SPD also does refurbished and recertified drives which are normally a bit cheaper than new, but in this case there doesn't seem to be much difference.
