I would how much the Exos will cost where I live (Ukraine).
Our high-end HDD prices have a massive premium relative to North America (I am talking from practical experience building PCs). I guess these days, high-end HDDs are somewhat of a niche product even in the DIY segment.
They’re popular in the DC segment though, in Sweden Exos has cheaper price/tb than Ironwolf Pro hdds do. The Exos 30TB ends up about 610 euro here, the 30tb Ironwolf Pro about 670 euro. That’s with vat and “piracy” taxes and all that added on.
Swede here, quick correction, we don’t have piracy taxes here, the tax exists but is is a personal copy tax, to compensate artists from lack of income due to personal copies/backups.
This is not a tax for piracy, which would be nice for consumers
Yeah, you’re right but when was the last time a close friend of yours, or a family member, gave you a copy of their Blu-Ray movie?
With all the DRM preventing us from making a private copy according to our lawful rights then why are we still forced to pay for the right?
So the price is about the same as it is for 16GB models - about $20/TB. Nice.
