Man even spinning rust has inflated. In mid 2024 I got a 8TB WD Blue for $115 and now the cheapest 8TB I see on PcPartPicker is $160... isn't that like 30% increase in a year or so? :/

We didn't know how good we had it.

$115 / 8 TB is $14.38/TB. In the last 2 or 3 months there have been drives for far less per TB (closer to $10/TB), but it seems like the sweet spot for the best deals has significantly increased in TB.

I treat the average disk price for new disks as $20/TB, so while we had a couple of years of good deals, it's now back to normal.

Why?
