All storage is overpriced imho, has been since about the time consumer SSDs appeared. HDDs especially inflated their prices despite advancements. It's like every aspect of computing is cartel-regulated.
Just all the old under-4gb USB drives people threw out. Far slower than a normal data center and costs surprisingly more to power, but it was cheaper to build at least!

$10 per TB is actually crazy cheap even for used enterprise drives! Unimaginable in this day and age

For that much storage yeah. Depends on what kind of storage though.

That’s what someone should do to these AI data centers being built everywhere…hack into them and fill them up with porn.

Well that's actually useful! Then we could backup archive.org, Wikipedia and all the good stuff. I don't know how much you need for that though.
But on a more funny note? You can store so many cat pictures in it!

So you really need a second 30PT backup location for the tasteful furry art?
(Yes.)
