How is it different from https://diskprices.com/ ?

[kabes]

It's different in that diskprices doesn't make money for the OP, while it only costed the OP 15$ in claude credits to slopvibe a competitor.

Nobody wants to compete. I just shared something I use myself, hoping it could help someone else. Of course, to keep it running, I need to make a profit, since the Amazon API alone won't let me discover so many products, and I need to get product info

If users won't find anything useful, I will simply put it offline and run it on demand whenever I need a new drive.

As many users pointed out, neither DiskPrices' idea nor mine is unique; there are many alternatives with different product listings.

It is only a benefit for the users if they have more choice

[duskwuff]

Well, for one, the prices are less accurate... ;)

[tuananh]

i tried 5 items. all of the prices are widely off. i just gave up.

Neither allow filtering for CMR (vs SMR) or TLC (vs QLC).

Neither have a column for Endurance (TBW), or power consumption (load watt, idle watt, RPM...).

Both list disks not actually available for purchase (fake prices).

Very limited usefulness.

[vektor888]

This is because brands are not 100% transparent on this, they could change how they assemble a specific model based on availability.

Amazon doesn't expose this data

[nick238]

I've noticed diskprices.com getting increasingly bad with filters, probably because the source data is garbage with Amazon sellers trying to jam all the keywords into titles or descriptions/features..."M.2 USB-C 3.2 PCIE NVME"

[vektor888]

Many users are pointing out that the concept is very similar.

The product listings are perhaps different?

[bananapub]

yes, OPs one has strictly less listings (diskprices.com does multiple countries).
