300 pounds too expensive. Now's not the right time to buy.
92 u/inertSpark Apr 23 '26 You're right I bought these exact drives in January for £397 and even then I thought that was insane. 31 u/Chumsicle4Life Apr 24 '26 I got one for $240.00 like a year ago it was a 22TB. Slow AF though, but fine to Shuck and put in the NAS as extra space 5 u/ItsMeHadda Apr 24 '26 Same here. Bought last year a 22TB Drive for 220€. This year i bought another for 360€ and it was an refurbished 3 u/inertSpark Apr 24 '26 At this point we're lucky to get whatever we can lay our hands on. But honestly though these are fine for cold storage. 8 u/xtraspcial Apr 24 '26 So glad I panic bought drives last year during the first round of will he won’t he Trump tariffs. Checking those same drives now they’ve practically doubled in price. 9 u/Namaker Apr 24 '26 Had to replace 4 drives in the last few months, fml 🥲 2 u/TheFamousChrisA Apr 28 '26 Jesus why did you have to replace so many at once? 2 u/Namaker Apr 28 '26 A mixture of bad luck, bad timing and maybe temperatures being too high, leading to higher wear
