Oh don’t worry I know. If I can pat myself on the back a bit, I was super vindicated at work last week when someone shared a WD drive shortage article - I had pushed us to grab 7x 14TB refurbished enterprise drives in December (6 bay raid, 7th is a spare). The 12TB seagate EXOS currently cost $110 more than we paid for those 14’s.
This. I just had to replace a failing NVME m.2 stick, 2TB, that I bought 4 years ago. It was over $100 more than when I bought it. It was painful.
