Imagine buying one for cheap because it has some bad blocks and it’s unreliable to keep real valuable data on it! I have a 8 TB HDD bought for like less than a $100 a decade ago, from a friend though, as he had some bad blocks there. I host only media for the HTPC there, but it’s been a solid all these years. And when it dies, sad, but nothing valuable that I cannot redownload.

It’s about the storage I have in my server right now - using 15 drives ☠️

It’s about half of mine, with about 30 drives. Whatcha running?

I’m running a TrueNAS build which has just grown in time. Started off at 5x8TB drives, then added 5x16TB drives and just last week added another 5x26TB drives (that was costly ☠️). It’s all running in a very cheap case using an old threadripper machine I had (2950x), which thankfully supports ECC (128GB purchased years ago before the sillyness).
