I'm pretty sure $15/TB for HDDs was considered the standard not too many years ago

Edit: the last time I bought an HDD (2023) it was 20 TB for $280, so $14/TB.

Before the world firmly settled in the bad place, deals multiple times a year put shuckable external drives at $10/TB. I have a few left and am just hoping I don't run out before Pop+2 years, which is probably how long it'll take to make drives anywhere near affordable.
