No kidding. This didn’t ruin me but it was painful. And on top of that, it’s smaller disks for significantly more than I did last year.
I bought them for years ahead. My primary pool is gonna start having drives fail from age and use, and it’ll need replacements. So I’m gonna be sticking these in as they fail over time so I use all the service life I can get from the existing (8TB) drives.

That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.
