And yet the cost of BitTorrent and the *arr suite has stayed the same.

HDD prices are up over the last several years even with greater density drives coming on the scene, but it still pales in comparison to the price increases of these streaming services.

Two years ago, I paid $100 for a 4TB internal. Last week, I paid $89 for each 8TB enterprise-grade internal, granted, refurbished

...You be the judge.

And a 24TB drive goes for 350, I don't see prices going up either

Which ones...? I'm in the market for exactly that

It seems to be going the othwr way again? There was a thread the other day about new 38tb drives and how they are pretty cost efficient on a per gb level

Nah still pricey. I believe the article stated they were $800 which puts them at $20+/TB. 5 years ago I could get new drives at $12/TB but now I can only find these types of deals on used server drives or no-name brands.

These new 30+TB drives should be driving down the cost of the small to midrange drives but that doesn't appear to be the case currently.
