  Ah, you found the flaw in this plan.

  Just buy them on eBay. Why does it matter where they come from? Again, four of them have to die before it’s no longer worth it. It’s extremely unlikely you’d be that unlucky.

  Personally I have 15 drives in my NAS, all of them were bought used and they’ve been running 24/7 for 4+ years without issue. I expected to lose at least one per year but they just keep chugging along. Some of them have over 80k power on hours (9+ years)

    12 drives here all from eBay running same as you for 2 years not a single problem. Hard drives are stubborn bastards when they want to be.
