CamelCamelCamel is down for a week, 3 failed hard drives and $45k

I'm pretty sure Amazon and other retail sites hate page scrapers. That is why there are all the tricks like see the price in the basket, instant rebates, click to see price etc. I'm surprised that camel still manages to work after all these years and that amazon hasn't cut them off already.

Clearly noone can, as keepa did not display any of the deals I have been manually tracking over the last month. Also, the interface leaves much to be desired. I patiently await CCCs return.

All of the drives in the RAID were the same age, so it didn't make a lot of sense to replace only three of them.

That reduces the price per drive to a mere $1,000! What a steal.

More importantly, why was their database running on a physical server?

Edit: why the downvote? I don’t care how massive your database is, it doesn’t need to be running directly on a physical server.

They've update with a picture of the replacements, vnand ssd 860 pros.

Even the 4TB variant appears to be around $1k pre-tax at most, though.
