I just upgraded my pc and added a RAID array. A 4 tb drive is still like $80-150, so $600 for 30tb seems kinda reasonable. It’s outside of my budget, but I’m a cheap bastard.
When was that released? This 30TB version is hot off the press. I’m not surprised that it costs 600$. The 20TB version you linked is 16.4$/TB on a promotion, the 30TB one is 20$/TB. Without the promotion the 20TB version would be 430$ making it 21$/TB.
Give it time (a year or less) and it’ll be even cheaper.
I could have gotten a marginally better price per tb with bigger drives, but I didn’t need that much storage. The drive you linked is $419 at my local Microcenter.

This is CAD, but it’s double the price of 20tb

Electronics in Canada are also about 25% more expensive, the 30tb is 810
That’s a pretty good price, too. If you look closely, it’s discounted from MSRP. The MSRP is roughly in line with the price per tb.
That makes the discs you bought on the high end too though.

Yeah RAID or NAS drives have something specific and are a little more per TB if I’m not mistaken.
Crazy that we also used to pay this price per GB and even MB at some point.
