minus-squareSirMaster ( SirMaster@alien.top ) BlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 years agoBut large SSDs still seem to be really high priced. Like I have 300TB on HDDs. The largest reasonably priced SSD seems to be the Samsung 870 QVO at like $300. But I really don’t want to have to connect and manage 38 disks… And at $300 per, that’s over $11,000 Meanwhile I could get 17 18TB HDDs for $3000. Over $8000 cheaper which is a lot IMO, and 17 disks isn’t so hard to manage compared to 38 IMO.
