Yup, there’s a Linustech tip video about this. HDD prices have kinda been set in stone for a good while now
Couldn't find it within 5 minutes of searching - therefor I accounce that such a video does not exist
Let me see if I can find it. LMG pumps out tons of videos
Are you still in there?
Could be hardware unboxed FAQ actually.
So, maybe HDD can hardly get any more cheaper as there is little to non room for improvement while SSD can get higher NAND transistors density.
Just since I've setup a plex server (about 8 years now) midrange sizes have gone from 4->16 TBs. Personally I think the bulk of the issue is that HDD customers switched from a mix of enterprise and personal, to nearly all enterprise. Companies really don't care if a HDD is $200 or $500, so basically all high capacity drives are priced at B2B prices, not consumer
do you think you can link the video?
