The new ones were on sale for $270 so around $10-15 per TB.
The best I can find is $40-50 per TB for SSD. Certainly not 7times more expensive but more like 3-5.
Maybe regional differences. I’ve been looking for 3 days last week and have found anything under 20 EUR per TB, more like 25 for non-sketchy sites. For new drives, I’d never buy a refurbished again. SSDs are similarly priced, around 50 per TB for brand named ones.
