    So that means that HDDs will also stay expensive ):

    I have a big choice here.

    A. Bite the bullet and buy two more 8TB HDDs and complete my NAS as planned.

    B. Wait and hope for lower prices.

    C. Bite another bullet and run the NAS as a 24TB ZRAID1 instead of a 32TB ZRAID2.

    Sigh…

      Do it. It’s only getting worse. I’ve spent more than I want to admit on hardware the last couple months and it’s only got me wanting to spend now on remaining items on my list.

      Btw check out fractal node… 10 hdds… I have 2 z2 vdevs in there. First were 2tb. 2nd are 10tb. Think I have almost 30 usable total.

      Consider: graphics cards pricing.

      Shit’s not coming back down to reasonable prices any time soon. At least not without major intervention on the part of governments.

      Ditto. My homemade Mac mini file server just bit me with an APFS drive corruption. Needing to get something put together with redundancy. Like NOW! and these shit heads are killing the market!

      I was planning on a NAS home server. I was setting aside money to make the purchases. Prices have forced me out of that little side project for the time being…
