Pfft, the only "hoarding problem" is that storage is expensive these days!
I know, I just paid $500 for a 24TB SAS drive that was $250 just over a year ago.
That's a good deal. Microcenter was selling a WD 20TB external HDD for $600. Didn't end up pulling the trigger 'cause I'm going for a 2 drive Raid1 config on my janky setup and $1350 w/ taxes is way too steep.
SAS actually ends up being a little cheaper due to it not being as compatible with home systems... And it's a refurb but I got lucky because smartctl showed it only had about 200 hrs of uptime reported.
