This works out to 1p per gigabyte (with a bit of rounding, admittedly).
Earlier today we looked at a great price on aMicrosoft Xbox Wireless Controllerin blue using a 20% off Ebay code, and now it’s time to check out another deal using the very same discount method. This time it’s a massive 18TB HDD from Seagate, an Exos enterprise-grade drive, which is available for £245 when you use theCATCH20code at CCL’s Ebay shop front.
At this price, you’re paying just 1.4p per gigabyte, which could legitimately be rounded down to 1p per gigabyte - absolutely wild stuff. I remember watching my parents pay a huge amount, maybe like a few hundred dollars, for a 750megabytehard drive back in the day*, so to get something 24,000 times bigger for not that much more money is kind of incredible. Suffice it to say, I’m a bit gobsmacked by how cheap hard drives have become, even in these ridiculously huge capacities.
*It was all worth it though; I was able to install theentiretyofCivilization II, including all of the musicandvideos. Luxury!
This is a well-reviewed model, too.StorageReviewmentionedthat the similar 16TB size offered excellent random performance and latency compared to other HDDs on the market, ending their review with the words “if density and capacity are the main concerns, look no farther at the moment.”
