How is this better than https://diskprices.com/ ?
I built a tool that tracks SSD prices across Amazon US. It calculates the real cost per GB and lets you compare new vs used drives.

The tool updates every few hours and lets you filter by capacity, form factor, and condition.

Would love to hear your feedback!

First feedback is that it's limited to Amazon US! It looks like you've planned more regions as there is a selector with a single element, but it would be good to support more countries.
This tool was linked on HN a couple of weeks ago: https://diskprices.com/?locale=us

In a response to another similar tool. Now it's a third one. What gives?

Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it and will add this ASAP. Besides the US, which other countries do you think would be most useful?
I'd like a filter that removes the "pack of 10" and similar entries. They also don't seem to compute $/TB correctly, which adds to the frustration.
If it's limited to the US then the US filter doesn't look necessary, you could save some vertical space there.
<nevermind, I see the filter for size>
Why can’t I filter by $/TB??

I want to see the table sorted by lowest cost first, but with a $/TB filtered to be in the top 5% (or under some max value).

This probably has the most egregious data errors out of all similar tools.
The math don't math.

$/TB, TB, and $ don't interconvert. Most obvious when you sort by $/TB. Sloppy slop.
