When I began building my server rig - which includes my torrenting setup - last year, I was able to find the 4TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD Samsung 870 EVO for about €300. I bought four of them, but now, I'm running out of space, so I checked a couple of retailers. Wowee. What is going on with these prices. 😂 Even Micron's Crucial brand, which at some point was the more affordable option, is way past it's curfew. 🤬

I just wanted to vent.

Since I'm one of those people who'd rather sleep in an anechoic chamber or at the very least use white noise or the likes in order to sleep, running HDDs doing random reads and writes next to my bed in my single room apartment is not a option.

I didnt even know prices could go up like this

I wanted to share all of movies (which I think is also legal here by the way) with people not just over clarnet, but also I2P for anonymity so no one can judge what you watch

I wished for +50TB setup

Here is just one of many guides. Let me know how it turned out! :D

When I want to share files with people who aren't technologically inclined, I encrypt the file and file headers with 7-zip, upload it to my cloud under a random filename and just share the link with the people.
