> Ah, memories of Uni, back when storage was fairly expensive, where we had both hard and soft quotas.
Don't worry, disk got expensive again. Disks are usually at least 2X more expensive than a year ago currently. Sometimes 3X more.
8TB M.2 SSDs are literally worth their weight in gold (excluding heat sink)
HDD prices are a bit more reasonable. Mostly because they are so heavy. Still insane to where prices were just 12 months ago
Not nearly as expensive as it was back then, at least not yet, even accounting for inflation.
Yes, let's hope it doesn't get even more expensive. Around here we are purposely not upgrading hardware unless we have to, hoping to ride through the price increases. I'm sure lots of people are doing the same thing, which probably won't help much once prices start to come back down... assuming they do.
