Comment on Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy

  I was almost crying while looking for drives to increase the storage space of my current 10TB drives in my UnRaid, because of the price.

  You will now be known as “the tears-Minato”.

  Thank you so much for this link.

    Keep in mind they are refurbished tho! They will work fine, but they also have a lot of hours on them too!

    But you’re welcome! They do offer some sweet deals!

      I tend to replace my drives (if $$$ permits) every 2 to 3 years unless one of them fails before that. And seeing as they are willing to give 2 years of warranty on some of those renewed drives, I’m not really that concerned.

      I am, however, buying 2 brand new 20TB drives for parity, which would be my biggest concern. On top of that, I have a mirror of my server in my brother’s house over 2K miles away (beats paying cloud failover, for sure).
