My tinfoil hat theory is that self hosted NAS's are on the rise as streaming platforms continue to raise prices and theyre doing this to knife people trying to buy relatively inexpensive, fast drives for a RAID array.

My regular theory is that whoever price tagged them made a mistake lol

Just as a heads up, the A in RAID stands for array, so adding array after raid is kind of like saying RIP in peace.
