The SDs, the SSDs, the HDDs, the DIMMs, the SO-DIMMs, the SoCs, the CPUs - let alone the GPUs. Anything containing chips will be highly overpriced due to #AI and #SiliconValley financing basically lining up billion dollar bar tabs while disturbing every hardware market in sight. You could say that's by design.

You'll compute nothing and like it.

Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

I have used WD drives for years and even went through their warranty service before with no issues.

This may all change now.

I shipped them a drive about 2 months ago and am still struggling to get a replacement for my home server. Looks like they have given EVERYTHING to AI and can’t even fulfill the warranty.

Need to find a 8TB drive now myself as I can’t rely on them.

This is not good.
