My 40TB of booty disagree with you lol

Any leads on storage that isn't batshit insane in price now? I've got around 25TB, but a lot of it is backups that I can't effectively sort through without some more space to shift things around in.

I swear man, I just need 10 more TB and then I'll go clean! I can stop anytime I want!

The best deal i have found currently are refurbished Exos X22 drives on amazon, 22TB at around 600€.

For music you don't need that much space, even in FLAC (lossless) encoding.

Well, these days it can get pretty expensive for that storage. But yeah, I've got like 59k tracks, nearly 6k albums on my NAS in FLAC, it takes up just over 1.5 TB. And FLAC is just great quality, in some cases better than the old CDs I used to buy when you can find it in 24-bit/48Khz or 24/96.
