sorted byPromises of an Amazon Prime day just around the corner aside, I think I'm going to go for this.
Although the early July delivery date might hint at something...
Thanks OP! (edited)
I'm reminded of the tech losers in the physical removable disk biz - oh, they had it so good for a period, then as dead as the dinosaurs. And the music format companies that sat on their hands selling overpriced under-specced junk while MP3, initially at a literal snail's, crept up and then ate the entire biz.
HDD companies now have the tech for CHEAP 50TB drives, but want to keep scoring of the prehistoric tech in these sub 20TB devices.
I think prices would have come down quicker but during the pandemic a lot of production was stopped. Consumer demand is already falling due to the economy so prices will fall but then buying a new hard drive may not be a priority at that point.
I've just ordered one of these and I'm certain they'll drop again in the next month or so.
