>>44312for best value buy >10tb used drives from ebay
don't buy sata drives, they're consumer grade, slower, and won't last as long
prefer hitachi, hgst, or toshiba. amerilard brands like seagate will fail the moment you plug them in
>but what the drive dies because it's le old o algoput your disks in a redundant zfs mirror, if one fails, all your data will be fine and you can hotswap the failed drive for a spare (keep spares on hand) and resilver
new hard drives are also not immune to failing, there's basically no reason to not buy second hand apart from mindless consumerism
