>It's already really hard to buy big HDDs for my NAS because nobody buys external drives anymore. So the pricing has gone up a lot for the prosumer.

I buy refurb/used enterprise drives for that reason, generally around $12 per TB for the recent larger drives. And around $6 per TB for smaller drives. You just need an SAS interface but that's not difficult or expensive.

IE; 25TB for $320, or 12TB for $80.
