Hard drive prices are spiking because of "ai." Prices have jumped 46% on average since September.
The 24TB Seagate BarraCuda used to be $239 on sale, but it's now sitting at $500. "AI" training needs massive amounts of data storage, and manufacturers are shifting production toward enterprise drives for data centers, leaving regular buyers paying more than they should have to.
Between RAM, SSDs, and now HDDs, building a PC is getting expensive fast.

Watching Netflix's version of The Three Body Problem (the Chinese one was better)
But these switches are awesome and I'd like to how they're called or if they're custom props. I might want to get them for an art project, a cyberdeck or who knows what.
