Howdy all, |

I still have quite a bit of drive storage but I've read that prices on |
| 4 |
drives are on the rise. Thing is, I don't track them much. I'm looking |
| 5 |
at buying a 8TB drive and I've researched to make sure I'm getting a |
| 6 |
PMR/CMR drive. I'm avoiding a SMR since it doesn't perform as well in |
| 7 |
my use case. I tend to stick with Seagate, WD and other major makers. |

If anyone reading this does track the pricing of drives, are they on the |
| 10 |
rise, stable, dropping or what? Is this a good time to expand while it |
| 11 |
is more cost effective? I shop around on ebay, Amazon and others before |
| 12 |
buying. I'm not opposed to buying used since I can sometimes find one |
| 13 |
that was pulled and sometimes has only a few hours of use. I found one |
| 14 |
once that only had like 10 hours on it. Still got it too. |

One reason I'm wanting to do this now is price. However, in a year or |
| 17 |
so, I'm getting fiber internet, dang fast at that. It's starts at 200Mb |
| 18 |
but still over a 100 times faster than current connection. It goes all |
| 19 |
the way up to 1Gb. God help us all. ROFL |
