I’m so mad I didn’t max out my main server when I had the chance. Used enterprise sticks were dirt cheap on eBay.

Used enterprise HDD’s also jacked up now. It’s absurd lol
Yep mad about that too. I was about half way through upgrading my 45 drives server when they started to go up.
Brutal. I only did a 6 drive bay and I was angry lol
He is talking about the company '45Drives', which produce solutions which aren't only 45 drive bays.

Appreciate the clarification!
Just decided to buy 8 drives for my NAS and was surprised to see nothing in stock anywhere + prices are 3-4x higher than half a year ago. Just wasted 2k eur for 8x8tb, it should be plenty enough for my NAS but I feel stupid having to waste so much money.
Ridiculous prices indeed. I was grabbing refurbished/recertified 14tb helium drives for under $200/ea barely a year ago
People spend that much a month on restaurants
