    I wish they would make cheap “big enough” drives instead.

        Where lol? WD reds are like 300€ here.

        Not Seagate 12TBs or SMR because they almost all have a very high failure rate on backblaze (specifically 12TB)

        20tb for me which are $400 @ B&H currently. They did recently have a sale so I grabbed some, but I need more to flesh out this synology. Even on sale I had trouble justifying it. I’ll bide my time and get there eventually. I believe (can’t really trust my memory) these used to be down in the lower $300 range which seemed fair.

        They just haven’t been dropping prices much at all. Even with newer gigantic drives being made.

        Prices are twice that here in Hungary. We do have a “you’re going to use this to pirate stuff anyway” tax for storage media, but it’s not just that.
