    Yeah… I built my wife a machine with 64 GB of RAM in ~October of 25 right before the prices spiked. Really kicking myself for not going all in and building a NAS setup at that same time. I can’t realistically bring myself to purchase 4tb hard drives or ram at this point - it’s too damn expensive.

      I really want to go in for a nas, but fuck… I guess I’ll get by with my motley collection of external hard drives…

      Yeah…recently wanted to replace my aging 8TB drives in the server. Thought I’d probably get twice as much for the same price or the same way cheaper. Boy was I wrong and sad

      I got 32tb like a month before shit started blowing up. I didn’t really need it at the time but the price was good so I jumped on it. So glad I did.
