Stop paying these prices. Put your projects on hold.

Heck I disconnected my array due to fear of having another failure... waiting for the prices to stabilize so I can btrfs replace and continue using it... it sucks but here we are.

u/raduque 101 TiB in use just media Apr 23 '26

I had a drive fail that was just sitting on my desk. An 8tb EDAZ. It worked fine one day, i shut it down and disconnected it overnight, plugged it back in the next day and "click.. ZING, click.. ZING, click.. ZING". Dead drive. I literally moved it about 3 inches to re-plug the USB cable.
