  $10 per TB is actually crazy cheap even for used enterprise drives! Unimaginable in this day and age

    Heh. “This day and age” like this article wasn’t less than a year old. 🤣

      All storage is overpriced imho, has been since about the time consumer SSDs appeared. HDDs especially inflated their prices despite advancements. It’s like every aspect of computing is cartel-regulated.

    I remember going to a friend’s house in the Castro back in 2003. She was showing me around the house and opened a bedroom door. Inside the bedroom, the whole place was filled with server racks from ceiling to floor. I was like “wow…what is all that for?”. She said “that’s suicidegirls.com”. They were hosting the whole site in their house.

    That’s what someone should do to these AI data centers being built everywhere…hack into them and fill them up with porn.

      Well that’s actually useful! Then we could backup archive.org, Wikipedia and all the good stuff. I don’t know how much you need for that though.

      But on a more funny note? You can store so many cat pictures in it!

    For that much storage yeah

      Just all the old under-4gb USB drives people threw out. Far slower than a normal data center and costs surprisingly more to power, but it was cheaper to build at least!
