Comments

  1. Dane: can't believe the prices now, remember when 1tb was like 20 bucks?
  2. Liamnilsson: laptops aren't where you need to cut corners when it comes to storage, man
  3. Selim: finally some honesty about storage costs. but let's not pretend this is just about economics - anyone who's dealt with data retention requirements knows how much longer HDDs can keep going
  4. Adamvoss: kinda surprising to see AI affecting hardware costs in such a significant way - wonder how long this trend will stick around?
  5. Arlo: not everyone's buying the 'ai apocalypse' narrative though, are we just accepting price hikes that quietly benefit some industries over others?
  6. Selim: storage prices aren't gonna keep me up at night
  7. Cleo: looks like the cost savings are coming at the wrong time for me though - i've been putting off upgrading my storage for months now
  8. Noah: i still remember when you could get 1tb for under 50 bucks -
  9. Diazrayan: It's weird how quickly things add up - I've been crunching the numbers and even mid-range laptops are hitting $2k mark now
