Same. I soon need a new HDD for my growing collection of Linux ISOs. Bought one 24tb drive for about 350 last May and the very same drive now costs 500+

Sure wish I had bought a second one back then

Y do u collect Linux ISOs?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because I like to stare at them in my free time. Sometimes for like 2-2.5h, sometimes only 1 hour or even 20 minutes.

Do you ever stare at them for 26.372 minutes?

That's the sweet spot

lol, that was about the size drive I was targeting. I got one for Xmas at least, but then the price just kept going up and up and up. I wanted to get 4 or 5 more to set up a raid array

I'm just glad the SMART values of mine all look good. I might have to slow down my acquisition of Linux ISOs for a little, but I hope it gets better soon
