It’s been so long since I’ve purchased an external hard drive and lol at how cheap disk is now…
I was legit forced to purchase 4TB HDD minimum and it cost HUNDREDS less than what a gig would cost my Dad in the 90s when we would go to Radio Shack 😂😂
lol… lmao even
I mean, I knew it was cheap now but I didn’t know it was THAT cheap
I remember when I figured out you could still use HDDs years back, I just thought SSD was the standard. Yes I will take 20 zetabytes of storage for $30 thank you sir you can have your SSDs.
Hahaha yeah the guy at the store kept asking me if I wanted the SSD and I was like brother, I don’t even want 4TBs 😂
Also funny story- dude at the store went to unlock the case that they keep the disk in and he was like “oh that’s weird… hold on, I can’t find my keys” and I was like “oh no worries brother… me too! But trust me when I say we both bout to find em”😂
Oh yea, for mechanical its wild. HDD is basically legacy tech. May as well be buying magnetic tape. Bit more for SSD, and NVMe particularly. But still quite affordable.
Hahaha magnetic tape that’s funny
I found 5x 512GB drives in the dumpster for electronic waste of my block yesterday! \o/
Picked them up in joyful luck, and 10 minutes later i got a smol panic... 😅 not sure what to do, wipe them carelessly and enjoy some archival space, examine them looking for horrendous crime evidence and potentially be marked for life, put them back.... what to do what to do....
Hahaha that is quite a dillemma 😂 keep us updated!
