They're $265 CAD for each 10TB Western Digital Red Drives and I bought 4. They're NAS drives and so they're spinning platters and not solid state but it's fine for my needs.
I also bought an i5 desktop with a 1TB NVMe drive, 16GB of RAM for $900 CAD that runs at PCIe gen 4x4 and with the unRAID OS installed, it'll auto-tier between NVMe and the 10TB drives. Works like a hot damn and it's cheaper and faster than a NAS from QNAP with the Celeron processor.
Not just fuck Canadian ISP's, fuck the CRTC that's run by ex-CEO's from the big three. They set the rules which are, by my guess, provided by the big three.
Miserable is a huge understatement. It's fatal when not properly clothed. As a kid I recall going to check our mail at the communal mailbox and it was -66C (-86F) with the windchill and every TV channel had a banner saying you WILL get frostbite with 30 SECONDS if skin is exposed. I know people who have lots fingers/toes in warmer temperatures than that so it's straight up fatally cold.
Good. Waste all that money because as long as the Liberals and NDP work together, Squinty McProudBoy will never become PM and will eventually lose the leadership for failing to make a difference.
