Yet people will scalp, buy more products and defend it by saying "but I need this". There used to be a time, where consumers would drive the industry, not anymore. And this leads to companies doing what ever they want.
People just accept for no reason.
My theory is that we're hitting that limit again, most people don't need more than a terabyte or two tops, so companies adapt.
Kind of shite being on the "need a bit more" side because I feel they'll do everything to bleed us dry. My 2022 4TB drive was less than 100€, today 3+ years later, it's 139€.
Makes me glad I built my nephew a country l computer last Christmas instead of this one.
