The cost of storage is astronomical right now! I wasn’t really paying attention to the demands of AI on memory and storage, but I am now since hard disks are now cost prohibitive.

I was surprised that 4-bay NAS devices are somewhat affordable (and full featured). So I was looking at Synology or Ugreen with a slight nod to the more mature Synology. But… then I looked up 12-TB drives and stopped.

At Best Buy, one 12-TB WD – Red Plus internal drive costs about $475, and I would need 2-3 of them to even begin with. That $600 NAS device would now be $3000 equipped with three RAID drives.

Not sure if waiting will help with prices either.

With the gigs of stuff saved over the years turning into terabytes of stuff, I need more storage. I need, nay want some 8 terabytes of love in the form of a Seagate Backup Plus 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive. Price prohibitive at nearly $300, this drive squashes the previous spinning disk capacities of 4 or 5 TB. This is a whopping 8 TB!!

Okay, okay, I’ll settle for 5 TB until the price comes down on the 8 TB drive.

In a previous post, I wondered how our Sienna van would fit into our garage. The answer is get an outdoor tool shed and stuff it full with junk from our garage! Now, there’s (some) space.]]>
