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.

    You must be young and don’t understand seeding lol. Probably on Torrentio or Streamio or whatever.

        Well, I’ve got stuff seeding far more than 30 days, usually the obscure stuff. But also, I seed until my ratio hits 10:1 just cuz I have the bandwidth/capacity, and I know how hard it is sometimes to get a decent DL.

        Some people don’t GAF, I don’t mean to assume you don’t, I just want those who don’t to understand, to get its importance!

      Curating what content you download is completely unrelated to how long you seed it.
