Sigh, gotta replace 7.5 years old DDR4 16GB stick, got quoted for $135 (incl. tax).
I don't even know whether that price is good or not.

They generally have lifetime warranties.

I'd love to make a claim. But, I don't think they will honor it given the current situation.

That's not how warranties work. That's their problem to manage warranty replacement stock.

MG10 22TB MAMR 22TB was 2,220.15 RON + VAT ( 519 USD + 21% VAT )
On 26-01-2026 MG10 22TB MAMR 22TB was 2.294 RON + VAT ( 534 USD + 21% VAT )
Today 02-02-2026 same shit si 2322 RON + VAT ( 540 USD + 21% VAT )

Isn't WD cheaper? I get a 20% work discount which makes it average far below the above prices, though it is a pre-order. I'm tempted...

I would assume if you inquire with WD you would also have cheaper prices, I'd hope.
