I built a "Bloomberg Terminal" for Hard Drives to track real pricing across Amazon, Newegg, B&H, Best Buy and more
The storage market is volatile. Prices swing wildly based on "Buy Box" rotation, inventory dumps, and algorithmic pricing. Most deal sites just show you a static list of today's prices, which lacks context and usually ignores the specialized retailers.
I built ListofDisks to provide actual market intelligence.
Instead of a low-effort list, this is a full-stack price index.
Multi-Retailer: We track the major players (Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, Newegg, OfficeDepot, Walmart, and ServerPartDeals) simultaneously.
90-Day Rolling Medians: We calculate the actual street price of a drive over time, so you know if a "sale" is actually a sale or just a fake markup markdown.
Data Normalization: We map listings to Canonical SKUs. This allows us to track the price of a specific WD Red Pro 20TB across the entire web, filtering out noise, "renewed" drives hiding as new, and mislabeled products.
It is free to use (supported by affiliate links on the backend, but zero paid placements). It’s designed for data hoarders and sysadmins who care about data integrity.
Why I built it:
I’ve been working on this part-time for a couple of months because I needed it myself. I was looking for drives to populate my new DS1525+ and realized that while there are dozens of Amazon price trackers, no one was taking all the major retailers, normalizing the data, and showing true apples-to-apples comparisons.
Any and all feedback greatly appreciated.
