It's the 8TB drives that will really kill your pocketbook.
They range from $550-720 at newegg
I wouldn't want to put 8TB of my shit on a single spinny disk anyways. Oops, your drive failed. Sucks to be you.
I don't remember exactly what I paid for them but I used to have 4 3TB drives in a RAIDZ1 (its now 8 in a RAIDZ2) and they were around $600 a year and a half ago, bulk NAS-grade drives. If one of them goes bad, I don't lose a single byte, and reads are lightning fast, for spinny disks anyways.
What does someone who buys one of those 8TB drives do for backups? Pray?
