    20 TB at that price range could brankrupt some small cloud providers. Selfhosting would be much easier without having to worry about space. IF the price stays the same, but we’ll see.

      I’d be interested what the wear-leveling and write-cycles look like. $250 for 20TB is half the current price of decent spinning rust, but if they’ll die in a year because they’re part of a Ceph cluster or ZFS array, that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

          WD Red Pro 20TB = $420 MSRP, $380 cheapest I’ve found. Not considering taxes/shipping in that

          So, you’re splitting hairs by saying that’s not half. Point stands
