Seriously I can’t even get my refurb enterprise drives for reasonable prices anymore. Used to pay like $150 for 14TB ultrastars now it’s like $300 for 12TB exos
Last night I found a 3TB external USB 3.0 drive at the bottom of my "computer junk" drawer that I had completely forgotten I owned. It felt like winning the lottery.
Got some old gtechs I used for production work years ago, lots of 2-4TB that worked for 6-12mo then were moved to a closet and powered off for the last 8-10 years. Thinking of shucking them and checking them. Can’t imagine they’re bad yet.
It's ok to delete things.
Please tell that to OpenAI & friends.
You have no idea what I’m doing with my drives. Suffice to say no, I can’t delete 99% of what’s on them.
