Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

Ok, B&H has the best prices on WD purple drives, but they are out of stock on EVERY model number and size. Amazon has them, but super expensive and many don't give an expected delivery date. I suspect Amazon has a hard time getting them as well

Check best buy? I recently bought a 4tb drive through them and the cost was good. And they had the "previous" model with the bigger cache

Just bought two 14TB purples for $409 each at NewEgg. That is the best $/TB I have found on in stock WD Purple drives in the last four months.

Checked eBay and some of the prices are truly insane! Here's a failed drive they are trying to sell: FAILED BAD WD Purple 10TB 5400RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5" Surveillance HDD WD100PURZ | eBay

Now I know the purple drives I bought last year do NOT have this "Designed for AI" crap on them. Another marketing ploy

Ok, for some reason, I cannot upload a photo

Yeah I know, a lot of people just dont fight back but I will.

I used to be that way, but the older I get there's less energy available and I let more and more things slide.
