      Yeah, I built my new PC around 2 months ago. Maybe they are cheaper elsewhere but here in Australia they are very expensive. :(

      Well, 8TB might still not be cheap, but I bought a few of those Crucial 4TB drives for $165 when B&H had their sale. Trying them out for a Proxmox datastore.

      I still use spinning rust for long term storage.

        Can’t wait for affordable 16tb SSDs to be available. That’s really the only time I can see myself switch from spinning rust. Also looking forward to the for the power saving benefits too. 10 years maybe ?
