Yeah, as low as $61 on Amazon for 1TB. Pretty amazing if you're old like me and remember diskettes.

Most of the ones on Amazon aren't trustworthy. Especially at high capacities. But apparently you can get up to 2TB now, at least in theory. I imagine the support for them is pretty limited though still.

If you shop around you can find a Brother (B&W) laser printer for about $100.

Imagine this weird future: Printers that always just work no matter what type of computer you have or how long they've sat since you last used them. And the "ink" cartridges last forever. And you can buy 3rd party refills or even refill them yourself. Plus it's completely reliant on microplastics to do its job, what's more futuristic than that?

Even better, if you scour your local thrift stores you can occasionally find them for as little as $10 and all they typically need is a cleanup and a new toner cartridge.

I bought mine for $7 4 years ago and it's still working on the toner cartridge that was in the printer when I bought it.

Admittedly, I only print about 40 or 50 pages a year but that's a hell of a deal.

so wish I had bought my brother laser earlier.
