I have to buy the stuff I need quickly before they get even worse.

This is one of the more major downsides of ai and shit FML.
 
recertified drives.
storage is like land you wished you have bought it yesterday.
 
Yes and they will never go down to being "cheap" ever again. Expect them to stay inflated like GPUs did after 2020/2021.

Can you find any for 1.5-2tb microsd cards, I need one really bad right now? Also any downsides to recertified/refurbished ones?
 
is dumpster diving behind the electronics store still the meta?

the downsides are the same ones as buying them brand new. recertification just happens so there's no e-waste. they as good as original they just get a bad name because people think it is used but its not always like that not saying it doesn't happen. of course i wouldn't feel safe storing important files in a single drive. never. recertified drives can just fails as a regular drive can fail. regular brand new drives can fail out of the box, which is something that happened to me.

if you want to write only once to the drives any drive is good if you want constant data manipulation you should try HDDs with good rpm and made for this like CCTV ones. in these scenario i'm assuming you're writing TB/s upon TB/s of data every other day. that's when CCTV drives are reliable.


If it is for storing movies / tv home server like
I'd run on a SSD the main system files then leave it portioned into other drives the less important less mission critical data.

As for Sd drives I never looked into them since i think they are fake but I assume the expensive for photographers and videographers are real but expensive.

The only portable high storage capacity drive i have is a Samsung T5 evo 2TB. its a ssd. and portable as in type-c 256gb thumb drive is a Samsung one the only brand i feel comfortable with but its a bit in the high end. not affordable at all.

For your only true free storage is a high capacity read write SSD capable of sending in and out of the usenet network before they expire ofc its not free and it comes at a price and needs setup i only heard of.
 
All this shit is happening because of this Sam Altman kike
 
all drives can and will fail eventually don't let that hold you back.

What I plan on doing is just putting like 1.5tb worth of media on there once, then just watching it, I am not using it to play games or constantly move files
 
Things only get worse
 
Price of everything keeps going up :feelsrope:

when i did work and traveled a lot i used to carry with me an adapter for an external HDD you can get that for cheap
that and a 2'5inch drive that's common on HDD laptops. you could try and get a broken laptop for cheep and extract the HDD from it
laptops with HDD are common to have a 500gb storage capacity drives at least that was my case never seen a bigger one myself.

i paid $5 for this at the time

assuming you are in america, you could grab a broken laptop for free on Facebook marketplace if you are lucky
or buy these HDD for 20 bucks (like in this listing)
of course if you wanna game you can adapt the strategy; a SSD would be 100x better.
HDD would run fine for raw media.

if you like convenience and don't mind spending the money Samsung T5 evo 2TB would be optimal in my opinion.
 
I got a bit gypped on ram when I built my PC in november/december ($430 for 64 gb 6000 30cl)

But I got good deals on the storage. $140 for 2 tb sn850x (better than the "updated one" since it has dram cache). And I got an 8 tb hard drive for $140.
