Yep, the Suez Canal is a lot closer to Europe. And actually, Chinese investors are looking at plans of digging a canal through Greece and Bulgaria that will bridge the Danube with the Mediterranean, bypassing the Dardanelles and Bosporus straights as there are increasingly waiting times to navigate through them.
Where did all the reasonable quality low wattage power supplies go?

There is a point where finacially it just doesn't make sense to make really low capacity products. Think about SSD's it financially doesn't make sense to even make them. Take these 2 harddrives for example. The 120GB drive is only $3 cheaper to buy . 60GB SSDs used to be common now they don't even exist on many websites unless they are old inventory.
Same thing is happening with the cheaper power supplies and certain wattages. The price difference between a lot of 400W vs 600W power supplies might only be $20 for some brands. At that point, printing, advertising, manufacturing, storage, shipping, inventory doesn't make sense for the difference in price. Might as well only sell the 600W model and dump the 400W variant.

You know whats funny though, those drives you mentioned are actually volume movers with integrators and refurbishers.
Take Refurb.io for example, they take off lease items (Desktops, Laptops) take out the old platter drives , put one of those in, and reinstall W10. Poof, PC has a new life and is sold to us.
My Disti says they go through a TON of 120/240 drives to customers like that.
It is pointless for us, but not for some clients out there.

i use the 128gb-256gb drives for cache whenever anyone wants a Spinner in there rig.
What software do you use to enable the cache?
i use Primocache a $30 license is worth it every rig iv sold in past 3 yrs that has had spinner has had a ssd as cache with a copy of this software. i have tested against the Bane of ssd tech QLC and its has negated the downsides of that tech, i have a experiment coming up where i test windows installed on a SD Card but with ssd cache and ram to ease writes to the card.
