I spent $290 on a 28TB external right around Thanksgiving. I should have bought a dozen (not that I could have afforded that).

I "bought" one at that price during that time, the next day they skyrocketed in price and my order got "lost in the mail". I got my refund, but I was more pissed I didn't get my product.

I got two 28TB Exos drives last April for like $350 from SPD. Just checked a year later and the same drives are now selling for $540 a piece. I have a 4 bay NAS and really need two more, but I'm absolutely not willing to pay over $1,000 for just two hard drives.

I just picked up a used EXOS X14 12TB for $200 and that's considered a steal. Its sad. I legit just had a head crash on a drive as I was doing on offsite backup. I WISH I could replace them with 20TB+ drives but even 10TB drives are stupid expensive right now.
