alt Hacker News> According to PCServerParts, a Seagate Exos 24TB drive that sold for $298.99 in the summer of 2025 was priced at $699.99 by August 2026.
Spoiled Americans. That drive is $1393 (14160 SEK) here in Sweden now[1]. A year ago it was 4160 SEK...
Three times as expensive in 12 months seems true for most drives.
I'm just praying no drives in my NAS are going to crap out anytime soon...

Worse than that, sellers on Amazon all seem to be scams now[1], and my trusted local supplier (who has genuine parts) is only selling one hard disk per customer. Good luck populating a NAS.

Yeah, wow. I hadn’t realised that the prices had gone up that much on hard disks as well. A pair of Synology 4TBs I bought for 2500SEK 18 months ago are now 3400SEK each from the same vendor.
