I just got 2 16TB drives for $90 each off Craigslist. Perfect for video game storage or downloading huge AI models or whatever. Or legit Linux ISOs. Wish I got more but I was too late. Can't find anything close to that price online

$5 a TB is insanely cheap and someone just getting rid of stuff and not really caring about the price. Nothing has ever been that cheap at retail or manufacturer recertified. Lowest was like $9-10 last year and now we are sitting at more like $15.

Yeah it was interesting because the guy knew what he was doing unlike other great deals I've had. I guess he just really didn't want them
