Only for SSDs. HDDs are under $100 for 2TB drives. Economy of scale plus lower demand makes those physical drives super cheap.
i believe datacenter demand is driving up HDD prices too though to a lesser extent
Datacenter demand is just the excuse to jack and fix prices.
unfortunately true

That’s what a slim 2.5" (so, fairly cutting-edge tech) 2TB cost almost 10 years ago, and a couple of years later the same drive was around $70. This isn’t some kind of amazing deal in 2026.
I bought 4 4tb HDDs for $500 total last year, went to buy a spare last month and they’re $250 each now. So no. Not even a little bit true.

Uh wrong. The drive’s I Bought last year have more than doubled. In price. Hdds not ssd. Insanity.
$100 for 2TB is terrible though, ideally we get 1TB or more per $5
Yeah about that…
