I spent about $1200 for 100tb of spinning rust for one of my NAS boxes. Please tell me where I can get 20% more for 40% less!
For clarity, at the $240 per 20tb CMR drive, assuming no inflated cost due to novel production processes, it would be around $1440 for one drive. I’m going to assume ~$1600 minimum. Also, I’m not going to buy one until they can prove it doesn’t have the same issues as shingled drives.
