      Drives have always been more expensive where I live due to taxes and extra “pirate taxes” they stick on anything you can store data on. But now they are even worse, so sad. $589 for 16TB Toshiba N300 was the cheapest “new” ones I could find at a glance.

        I needed up buying these $420 20TB Ironwolf Pro drives from Microcenter, so see if you can order online from there.

          Sadly the import taxes from the states would almost double it. I think I can find somewhat cheaper drives in Germany if I looked hard though.

            Oh you’re outside the U.S. yeah that’s a pickle. Microcenter is a brick and mortar store here so I’d definitely recommend checking for your local equivalent.
