does that only include SSDs, or does it include HDDs as well?

It includes all forms of storage except for USB devices, GPUs and high end CPUs. The latter you can still get but you're going to have some severe sticker shock.

Maybe shucking USB HDDs is the short-term answer.

Is that still possible? Aren't they native USB with no adapter?

Those drives are SATA inside the case.

That depends on the brand. The lower priced brands, yes, those can be SATA, the more vertically integrated companies also make custom PCBs that just have USB-C without any SATA interface exposed internally.

		It's probably feasible to make a "mass storage USB in, SATA protocol out" smart adapter board.

		I see, but if you plan on shucking you obviously get ones you know are able to.

I read it as both, but UK suppliers have stock of various SATA HDDs available in large and small sizes. It's hard to say if prices will rocket or availability decline, or both. I don't normally advocate panic-buying, but if it's needed now is the time. I have one NAS spare on hand, I don't want or need a drawer full of them, but it'll be a royal pain if I do and can't get parts.

		Lower performance/capacity consumer drives might be comparatively safe because there's Chinese end-to-end production capacity for those. Of course the price can still increase, but probably not that much.
