I don't have an immediate need for HDDs but I may need drives around the end of the year. I would be looking at 2-4 Exos 20 or 22 HDDs. In late 2023 I got a 4-pack of new Exos 20TB drives for around $1000 and have never seen them that low again. Now, it seems prices may skyrocket even further after going up for quite some time.

Any people watching the market more closely? Should I wait to buy when I need, or would it be foolish to not get some drives now if things are destined to get worse and stay worse for quite a while?
