When I began building my server rig - which includes my torrenting setup - last year, I was able to find the 4TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD Samsung 870 EVO for about €300. I bought four of them, but now, I’m running out of space, so I checked a couple of retailers. Wowee. What is going on with these prices. 😂 Even Micron’s Crucial brand, which at some point was the more affordable option, is way past it’s curfew. 🤬
I just wanted to vent.
Since I’m one of those people who’d rather sleep in an anechoic chamber or at the very least use white noise or the likes in order to sleep, running HDDs doing random reads and writes next to my bed in my single room apartment is not a option.
I had 4 of those nice things 4tb evos… Same model. Two died after a few years of being on use 24/7 in my server… Maybe three years?
Replaced with 6tb hdds and quite happy
Maybe I’ll end up doing the same. Maybe I’ll buy a properly soundproofed chassi and put it in the kitchen or something. XD
