So that's why I can't buy a replacement 16TB HDD for less than a 1000$ when three years ago I bought them for 229$ a pop.

I wondered why do they even need slow HDDs, like, do they store training data on them? User chats? Do they assemble crazy 12-way stripes for fast speed? Do they store what, failed attempts?

I think that’s just because hoovering up the entire worlds worth of data and saving it to a RAID multiplied by every frontier lab is a lot of fucking hard drives.
