NiceTryAmigo :

makes no sense. it should be cheaper with improving how its made, cost etc.

Devil Guinea Pig :

Is this because companies want you to pay subscriptions for cloud drives instead?

eye_knee_money :

Why not delete old photos and videos after 12 months or so

shark_attack858 🇵🇸 :

for long term storage switch from ssd's to hard drives and run it in raid

Aaron :

Should always pass the cost off. Even if just a percentage

BrokenCrownThriller :

I might to back to burning on BluRay discs 😳

Luis Varela :

Once I bought 3, 4T SSD in one year. That was 2023. Haven’t bought any since then. 200% price has me recycling and deleting old footage.

ZoLeftist :

Once China starts making them we will get the cheap options back. Any day now China. 🫶

It’s because they can be used to set up your own AI. The demand is going up but the corporate players for AI don’t want people to be able to access this tech. They want you to subscribe.

MassAppealAri :

And this is why I shoot video and post it to YouTube. No storage costs and my videos are there forever!

Josh M. :

I saw this ahead of time and decided to shoot just film this year.... actually saving money 😂😂😂

mikeymo79 :

Ya this pisses me off

thesuij :

Yeah, we need to stop buying pretty much everything nowadays

Lil Mikey :

An 8TB SanDisk Pro Extreme SSD on Amazon is between $839 to $1,599.

OhMyJosh :

I almost bought a NAS for $400 last year 😭😭😭 it’s like more than double now

Emmanuel :

That’s crazy

Keith Purtell :

Ransom. That’s what vendors are doing.

Trendystocks.trade :

Wild that a hard drive is now a better-performing asset than half the stuff people day-trade. Regular buyers are getting outbid by data centers, and nobody puts "AI boom" in the CPI headline when your storage bill quadruples.

Franz :

I don't shoot most large projects unless the client gives me a drive. Smaller work, I can keep for a couple of years

Alise Californian ❌ :

OMG

21.256816 :

Low memory price are the abnormality

DarkStudio Films :

Bought a 128TB system for $600 with 128gb DDR4 ECC and dual Xeon silver 4126 processors. You do NOT need SSD. Just get enterprise grade shit

borgjorgensen :

Ai companies just needs to go. The tech sucks, no one even really wants it, and the execs of these companies are openly threatening us with extinction.

Dooli cadaana😈 :

Buy from Mexico 😏😏
