    You realise massive capacity hard drives were never meant for the average plebian, right?

    They were always aimed at people with Certain Requirements and businesses. So saying that Average Joe ain’t buying a 28tb hdds isn’t a gotcha, it’s the norm

    (Meanwhile my workplace is buying them like crazy. building a new DAS)

      Right, sorry maybe I got a bit excited by my point. It wasn’t about this HDD example in particular, it was about the broader consumer hardware trend.
