Comment on What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD?
pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 4 weeks agoYou can buy a $400 900GB HDD, so OPs price gap is actually pretty narrow.

Forget the price. I’ve never seen a 900GB drive.

It’s a common enterprise size

Why not 1 tb?

For SSDs, enterprise-tier drives typically set aside a lot more dedicated space for wear management. So in many cases, it’s actually a 1TB (or 2 -> 1.8T, etc) drive, but the disk controller/firmware only allows addressing a subset of the “true” capacity.
