   @eskuero I don't believe the slop videos are stored for very long.
   
   Regardless, the more HDDs you make, the cheaper it is to make each unit - but why not jack up the price if the demand is such that the suckers will pay anyway?

     @Suiseiseki for runtime maybe but they also need a shitton of storage to save the dancing dog AI slop videos.

     @eskuero It's nothing to do with LLM's or AI - those mostly use SSD's - the HDDs duopoly just gladly jacks up prices at any excuse.

     Hell fucking yeah I was so right about HDDs spiking in price due AI.

     Bought disks from SPD the 22 of december at 265 euro a piece
     Same disks now 350 euro a piece.
