A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Cheaper? Internal HDDs have been more expensive than USB ones for the last decade or so. Which is why Hard Drive shucking (i.e. ripping the HDD out of the USB enclosure for internal/NAS use) is such a common sport.
Really? At least in the uk it's always been the exact opposite, if you look up "4tb hdd" on amazon for example you get results from £70, whereas "4tb external hdd" returns £90+ listings..
