Now think about the amount of storage we will have 45 years from now.
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Only for SSDs. HDDs are under $100 for 2TB drives. Economy of scale plus lower demand makes those physical drives super cheap.
$100 for 2TB is terrible though, ideally we get 1TB or more per $5
All hard drives, including HDD's have at least gone up a bit. But, everybody prefers SSD's, so obviously those will be higher. People install the OS on the SSD then use a huge HDD to install the games on.
I bought 4 4tb HDDs for $500 total last year, went to buy a spare last month and they're $250 each now. So no. Not even a little bit true.
You better look again, all my shit has went up.
Uh wrong. The drive's I Bought last year have more than doubled. In price. Hdds not ssd. Insanity.
That's what a slim 2.5" (so, fairly cutting-edge tech) 2TB cost almost 10 years ago, and a couple of years later the same drive was around $70. This isn't some kind of amazing deal in 2026.
i believe datacenter demand is driving up HDD prices too though to a lesser extent
Yep! Also, some people don't care about the speed of an HDD, as long as it has a ton of storage.
Yeah about that…

Now look at 10TB drives.
You checked Walmart for those? Might be a decent price if they actually have them in stock.
