What's a fair price for a TB of HDD? SSD? Which high-capacity SSDs are worth buying? I'm not sure if there are any sites tracking this. Anyway, I need to buy

What's a fair price for a TB of HDD? SSD? Which high-capacity SSDs are worth buying?
I'm not sure if there are any sites tracking this. Anyway, I need to buy 30TB of storage this year so I can upgrade my NAS and make it last few years. Thanks for any replies from anyone who has an opinion!
- wmf 1y agoHDD: $10/TB SSD: $50-100/TB
- nixgeek 1y agoMost new drives are sold into consumer/end user retail around $20/TB and only seem to dip a little during sales (with most sellers also quantity limiting any sales, also). Getting to $10/TB is possible but typically involves buying manufacturer recertified, and may involve going smaller (14-16TB drives) than you might prefer. I managed to find 64x Seagate Exos 20TB for $13/TB new about 2 years ago, on NewEgg of all places, but I’ve never seen that deal repeat. :( All the new 30TB+ HDDs using HAMR technology from Seagate and WD still feel like expensive unobtainium.
