Not looking good.

2-3 years based on what I've been perusing.

5 years unless production ramps up

What do you consider a sanity price?

Woot has a sale.
Maybe there is a deal to be had. I don't know but was shocked when I saw the list prices.

i just bought a laptop SSD for storing Frigate security camera footage and claude's training data expected me to pay $45 for 1TB. I paid $110 for 500 GB and lower specs.

Not any time soon... saw reports yesterday that Micron just inked new 5 year fixed price deals for more data centers, Samsung and SKHynix are likely not publicly disclosing pending deals fearing backlash from the consumers they have abandoned.

WD/Sandisk are near the bottom of reliability. I replace them with Samsung or Crucial. I have dealt with hundreds of SSD's, WD and generics are the most frequently replaced, Samsung and Crucial are very rarely bad.

I was just looking to get a new external drive for some backups. I passed on buying a seagate last year, 24TB drive for $250, now those drives are $800 or more. Yuck

Did you pull the metrics from BackBlaze's failure report? Or are you basing this on anecdotal evidence of whatever drive types HP or Dell is shipping to your data center in the particular models of servers you run?
