"Due to the increased demand for hard drives from the Chia miners, the prices for models with a large HDD from retailers increased by several hundred dollars. Since the beginning of the year, the price of the Toshiba X300 12TB HDD has increased from $320 to $500, the BarraCuda Pro 14TB has risen from $480 to $649, and the most bulky NAS drives have doubled in some cases. Now the IronWolf Pro 16TB costs $1087, although in April its price was $500."
