I scored some new WD 14tb drives for $120 US last October, and I am glad I did! Was a hell of a deal.
Wow thats awesome I'm so happy for you.
Not sure how to add alt text on mobile but thats a rat clenching his fist
I did not see the fist so am glad you added the text. Awesome rat!
When I first got my Synologies set up (~2024), I got 4x 12TB refurb DC drives for $75 each from goharddrive on eBay. Today, those same drives are $220 each. Absolutely ridiculous.
So now instead of expanding my space, I just cut back on my usage to make more room, bc it'll be a long time before I can afford an upgrade.
