Looking into mining burst but HDD prices in France are insane. Honestly, they have been over-priced since the shortage in 2012-2013. Does anyone know a good high capacity supplier in Europe? I'm hoping to find them for around 25 eur per terabyte. Maybe Germany? I'll be passing through there this week.

Thanks for any help.

25 euro per TB is about right the seagate barracuda cost 200 +, i can't find much cheaper than that, the roi is pretty good on those HDD, they can roi in 3 months with current burst profit

Thanks, found one on Amazon.de that is 27 per tb, not bad if they don't charge me 21% vat. Not sure why they do.

Any ideas if this profit % is going to hold?

I have good experience buying computer parts from www.mindfactory.de
They have pretty reasonable prices.

there are no guarantees in the cryptomarket. It's often fickle and not driven by intelligence. But this one seems to have a steady upwards trajectory. Just remember, the calculator tends to over-estimate profit by about 20%. If the value goes up it'll be accurate. Still, a 4 month ROI and nominal electric use are attractive.

man just my 2 cents : DONT SPEND TOO MUCH for burst bubble unless you dont expect to roi in 14 - 18 month. Burst is a wonderful technology , i love it , back in 2014 mined some 5milion coin i sold on first pump (1200 sats / burst with block reward @ 10000k and  total network capacity at 12 pb) , all is perfect BUT is made for long term. this bubble soon will pop and price will be back in range of 100 -200 sats (AND THESE BELIEVE ME ARE GREAT PRICES), bringin profit per tb back in 0.15 usd per day figures... which is not BAD considering that , YOU WILL NOT REQUIRE BIG INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND BURST since is VERY VERY VERY VERY power friendly and eco ( can run your PETA BYTE at home  easily under 1.5 kwh if you have the money to afford the disk space)
best disk of course (best disk in way of tb / money) is the v2 ST8000AS0002  8tb with rate of 23.5 eur / tb

world still not ready for this tech. it is amazing and requires time to be appreciated.

don't know they recently pumped burst but i'm not sure that pump with the new value will hold, well it's no lol, by looking again at the coinmarketcap it's now at 600 satoshi from 800, they are already dumping

you may try it in amazon or alibaba if  alibaba site is allowed in your country. but be wise enough, ordering online maybe sometimes have a damage or defect when it is delivered. you must check it when it comes to you. things might be damaged upon the shipping procedure because it may be put under some large things it is fragile you must check it when it is delivered.
