For the past few years I've been building a huge NAS storage with over 1PB in size. As its growing over time, buying new drives is always a tedious process.

How come the same hardware that was $2000 is now packed under a different name and costs double - $4000?! It's literally the same PC that was twice as cheaper 6 months ago.
The main reason is that they are based locally, they charge in EUR, you can get the VAT back, and they are much more affordable than AWS.
