When I first got my Synologies set up (~2024), I got 4x 12TB refurb DC drives for $75 each from goharddrive on eBay. Today, those same drives are $220 each. Absolutely ridiculous.
So now instead of expanding my space, I just cut back on my usage to make more room, bc it’ll be a long time before I can afford an upgrade.
