Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!

Yup. RAM prices have been soaring, then SSD prices… I’m predicting HDDs will be the next. So I wanted to avoid being left in a situation where my only HDD goes the way of the dodo, and I’m forced to pay premium for a new one.
Specially given I’ve been archiving anime, movies, music, manga, games, and books like a madman. And sharing them across my local network. So I actually need a bit more storage; my current HDD is 50% full.
So, I’ve been looking for a new one for literal months. You know the drill: visit hardware site, “is it cheap yet?”, get disappointed, flush, repeat. The e-shop I got it from is a big shop so it’s safe (…I hope), but not specialised on computer parts, so I think they’re clueless on the actual price of the goods. For contrast I found the same model elsewhere for prices like, R$2200, R$2600, even R$3800 (c’mon, that’s 650 euros!)
Power draw is 5.74W when idle, 9.07W when active. I got this info from the manufacturer’s site, Toshiba; check page 14. I’m a wee bit worried about the noise (the “server” in question is the computer in my bedroom I’m writing this from), but I think it should be fine.
Don’t worry about the questions :D
