I’m assuming it’s because they are in Canada, and prices tend to be higher there.

They need to find a US warehouse to ship to US customers.

I always buy used NICs and HBAs off eBay, way cheaper even if I had to replace it on my dime.

My family knows not to buy me computer or camera gear because they’ll never get it right (also it’s too f’ing expensive).

Why was this downvoted, it’s the last line in the scene. F’ing Reddit…

I just shuck WD Easystores, they’re so much cheaper. Got my 5x 14TB’s for $179/ea a year or two ago. Curious to see what the Black Friday sales will be on 18’s. With the difference in price, if you’re buying a few, you can just grab a few more and shelve them until a production one craps out. For a media server, they’re probably fine. If you’ve got serious data, then maybe the white labeled Red drives aren’t the best? I dunno. Never had issues. https://shucks.top/
