It’s not disappeared. It’s just been priced out.
I still have my price watcher for 8TB 2.5” drives at $320, intending to buy them when they fell to that price again.
Almost exactly 3 years later they are $1,440 during a sale.
Last year, one of the executives where I work decided they wanted an 8 terabyte SSD, and we bought them one, and it was like $800, and we were like, man, that is crazy. That’s a halfway good deal for an 8 terabyte SSD.
Literally two months later, I remembered that and I was like, you know, I have a little extra money in the budget. I might want to upgrade. Yeah, it was like $1,800.
If the guy ever takes his eyes off his laptop for more than 20 minutes, I may swap him out for a two terabyte and just act confused when I don’t know what happened.
I almost bought a 4TB for ~$400.
Wish i would have—now a 16g flash drive is that much.No way. 16 gigs for $400? Where?
So there’s this thing called exaggeration
I wonder how that could have happened.
