> comparison shopping is so hard

Yes, but it's much worse than it needs to be. When searching for hard disks on Amazon, if you search for "hard disk 8 tb" for example, Amazon will suggest the following criteria on the left side of the page:

Hard Disk Size

4 TB & Above

3 TB

2 TB

1 TB

501 to 999 GB

321 to 500 GB

121 to 320 GB

Up to 80 GB

Really? What is the point of this? How can it not do better?

Amazons search as you are aware has been notoriously bad for many many years at this point. i find that the diskprices website is very helpful when searching for hard drives on amazon. https://diskprices.com/

If you dont want to use amazon https://www.pcpartpicker.com has a good section to search and compare hard drive sizes/pricing

My conspiracy theory is Amazon search is intentionally bad to make their ads more valuable.

Thats the reason I just ignore amazon. When, once in a while, I search for something on amazon, it just returns pages of related things. Its worse than Youtube search. They can keep it.
