Where? Every one that I've seen is double from last year's price.

I never said last year. I said they're similar to when I bought them.

When I bought these they were peak GB/$, which is a fair couple of years ago.

Might be quite a bit more than a couple, mine are from mid-2024 and cost less than half than current prices.

Yeah i guess I'm just compressing time too much.

But for me hdd prices feel like when people were panicking about crypto going down to prices that hadn't been seen in... days.

Now RAM and GPU prices, yeah. Those are bloody expensive.
