It has Amazon as well as many other stores, and several other filtering options. It supports hard drives, SSDs, and other computer parts (everything that you need to build a computer). It also has a compatibility checker if you give it a complete parts list. It also works in several countries.
Great job! Could someone explain what's SAS and what's the difference between SAS and HDD? I know I can google it but I value people experience.
I haven't needed to buy a spinning hard drive in about 5 years. I have no idea how to choose one any more. There are so many variations. Red, Purple, Blue, Gaming, Enterprise, Business. I just want to store some files.
The thing that makes the most difference is a drive being CMR vs an SMR one. CMR ones are recommended if you are ever going to write large-ish amounts of data in one go or if you ever plan to make a raid 5/ raid 6 arrays. SMR drives are now what you find on most consumer drives between with capacities 1 Besides the recording technology, the color of the label and the product line name are mostly marketing and won't m…
The only other value might be the power on hours (POH). Effectively the intended daily running time. If youre looking for something that sits in a server, best pick something with 24h.
Beyond that I think the only other difference is warranty. I know Toshiba gives 5 years on their higher end pro models.
> The operation is insecure.
As a backend engineer, I am beyond tired of frontend engineers taking what is a Javascript programming error ("[Uncaught DOMException:] The operation is insecure" is a JS exception. It is most commonly raised when a page wants access to APIs without permission to such) and blaming it on the backend ("500 Internal Server Error" — except this is just a lie. No 500s occurred).
The best price/TB in Amazon US are mostly NAS drives. For Amazon UK they are mostly external drives.
Apparently the cheapest is £17.75 per TB for a 16 TB disk.
However the second cheapest is £18.75 for an 8, but if you click through the 8 has an option for 16 at £273, which is £17.06. Non-discounted. It's just generally cheaper than the sites suggested cheapest.
So it's unfortunately already demonstrably wrong with its first two suggestions.
Every price i checked on Amazon.de was wrong on your website, this is totally useless! Often the real price is like 300% higher
I am always curious why there doesn't seem to be something similar everywhere?
Man even spinning rust has inflated. In mid 2024 I got a 8TB WD Blue for $115 and now the cheapest 8TB I see on PcPartPicker is $160... isn't that like 30% increase in a year or so? :/ We didn't know how good we had it.
UX bug: I don't use dark mode. Every time I open this site, it firstly shows in dark mode and then switches to light mode after 0.x seconds.
That’s because the HTML code is server-side rendered (SSR) with data-theme="dark" hardcoded on the element, so on the initial page load the browser immediately renders with dark mode styles applied. After ± 500ms-600ms Nuxt’s JavaScript hydration kicks in (as this is a Nuxt app based on __NUXT__ at line 11,236), which detects your macOS system preference via prefers-color-scheme media query and updates data-theme to…
