Damn, I started building a home server this summer, and I still need some HDDs for a NAS...

This mainly effects NAND, HDD should not be affected.

The QLC NAND shortage is created by the HDD shortage, per the article.

Okay your right, just re-read it they are switching to QLC NAND. Honestly I personally think normal people should switch to used drive cheaper and in stock.

Unlike SSD, usage doesn't affect HDD that much. https://serverpartdeals.com/

Yes, I'm definitely buying used, but suspect that prices will be affected there, too.
