Even with enterprise level Samsung drives, the cost per drive is almost half that! Just crazy. And the only version that ssd's a make difference for are very underpowered for what you would have to pay for the ssds. It's a complete joke. I have 6 8tb evos in my ds620+slim and it cost nearly half that as well. Just terrible decision for a company who can be replaced. Their spinning hdds are somewhat more reasonable but I have specific brands I like and that they don't use(I've had too many seagates go bad on me early).

Big Adobe energy here without the monopoly to really work for them.

It can knock you down pretty far depending on how much you owe. $300 is probably not going kill your credit outright if it's very good, but if it's average, you could see some serious problems including rate hikes to your credit cards and trouble qualifying for loans or possibly even housing or jobs. In which case, they wrongfully damaged you and you can take them to court for a small pile of money and have it taken off your credit. It's your responsibility to show that you were wrongfully affected by their actions(so save any documents on such things)but they must show that they properly put this on your credit report and some places are harsher than others for that. Also you can dispute it in the meantime although that has mixed results generally if they have your signature on a sheet of paper. The credit bureau's don't take a lot of time to handle disputes and tend to take the word of the businesses over the individual.

As a reasonably attractive woman and giant nerd that I am, I've gone into store where the leering is not only there, but supported and one upped by the staff. Blatantly. Now, I would say, given the amount of comic book/game stores I've been entered in my life about half of them have been either dismissive or creepy, NOT counting the general filthyness of a few of the stores. I remember the 90's specfically going into comic book stores and the guys in there looking from me to the Dawn posters. It really freaked me out and I almost never got into any comics at all because of that. Luckily, I've found wonderful game and comic book stores that I can go to and feel good about spending my money at. So when I see those places on television I think, oh, it's one of those places.
