@fhein @glizzyguzzler two me about it, o just spent about twice what I was expecting on an ssd NAS build
Comment on How bad of an idea is it to use computing HDDs in a DIY NAS?
fhein@lemmy.world 1 day agoNow is a bad time to buy hard drives price-wise
It’s a bit of a gamble, isn’t it? At least here, HDDs appear to have gone up 10-20% compared to lowest prices last year, which isn’t that much compared to SSDs and RAM. Personally I bought new disks last week just in case the prices continue to rise and I don’t want to end up in a position where I have to buy new disks while they’re at an all time high.

F in the chat for your savings, least you’ve got the peak of home NASes. Pretty fuckin cool and I hold out hope when the drop comes in a… 6 months to 3 years…? that I’ll be able to afford full SSD NAS life. The power savings, the speed, the no worries of shock or vibrations, the silence - jealous

It is a gamble, fuck the AI bozos for speculating us into economic uncertainty
