I built a tool that tracks SSD prices across Amazon US. It calculates the real cost per GB and lets you compare new vs used drives. The tool updates every few hours and lets you filter by capacity, form factor, and condition.

Would love to hear your feedback!

I’ve been working on a small project called Disk-Scout.

It’s a focused data tool for comparing storage drives (HDD, SSD, NVMe, external) using consistent metrics like price per TB, capacity, form factor and condition.

The main idea is simple: make drive comparison faster and more objective by structuring the data.

Recent improvements:

You can now save drives to a local favorites list for quick comparison.

One-click region switching – instantly view pricing across different Amazon regions (US, UK, DE, FR, etc.).

Improved normalization of capacity units and price-per-TB calculations.

Cleaner filtering and better performance.

The interesting part for me was building the normalization layer: handling different capacity formats, computing consistent price metrics, and keeping region switching fast without reloading everything.

It’s still evolving and I’d appreciate feedback from people who enjoy data tools and marketplace comparisons.

What would you add next?

I posted Disk-Scout here recently and received some valuable feedback. I’ve since cleaned up the UI and added several requested features.

For context: Disk-Scout is a data-focused tool that aggregates storage drives from Amazon (HDD, SSD, NVMe, external drives) and lets you filter and sort them by meaningful metrics such as price per TB, capacity, form factor, condition, and more.

What’s new since the last version:

You can now save drives to favorites (stored locally) and compare them easily.

One-click region switching – instantly view pricing across different Amazon regions (US, UK, DE, FR, etc.).

Improved filtering logic and performance.

Cleaner, more focused UI.

Better normalization of capacity units and price-per-TB calculations.

The goal is to make storage shopping more data-driven. Instead of manually scanning Amazon listings, you can compare drives objectively using consistent metrics.

I’d appreciate feedback on usability, missing features, or anything that feels unclear.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hey HN, thanks for all the feedback on my earlier post.

I’ve updated the site based directly on the comments here:

Fixed $/TB calculations (using decimal units, 1 TB = 1000 GB)

Properly normalized bundle / multi-pack listings

Removed misleading entries and tightened validation

Clarified assumptions directly in the UI

Would really appreciate another look to see if this addresses the issues raised. Happy to hear any further feedback.

Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it and will add this ASAP. Besides the US, which other countries do you think would be most useful?

I built a simple tool that tracks prices for 500+ hard drives and SSDs.

Shows: - Current prices across drives - 90-day price history - $/TB comparison - Which drives are actually good deals right now

Made it because I never knew if a drive price was good or if I should wait.
