Bought a 12 TB data center drive that had 3 years of spin time on it for $94 August '24. When I check the eBay listing now I see it's $220 😵
It keeps feeling like this bubble won't pop and we'll just keep riding upwards like the housing market
I don't think this is sustainable because it seems like a closed loop that eventually stops making money without any new inputs.
People NEED housing, they don't really need computer components.
My consciousness is on the cloud now, please speak for yourself!
