Comment on Any recommendations for a 20TB hard drive?
Doombot1@lemmy.one 8 months agoQuick note - HGST enterprise drives are great but those fuckers are LOUD. I’ve had one in my PC for a number of years and it’s done great, pretty quick too - but I can hear it across the room.

And expensive, a 10TB from them costs as much as a 20TB one from Seagate

Refurbished is the word. I got a Ultrastar DC HC520 (12 TB) with zero hours from eBay for 130€. I guess it was originally intended as a replacement but was never used then and just collected dust. So basically brand new hardware. Sometimes you can even catch one that has still manufacturer warranty. One i saw had 5 years left on it.

its a verified seller with over half a million positive reviews and a registered company in germany so i am quite sure its legit. but yes, the possibility always exists of course.
