Hey, I recently saw a comment on where to buy server hardware (mainly hard drives) sadly I forgot about the URL and didn’t save it. What are you guys favourite places to buy these kind of things? :D
To back off your post, does anyone have one for Australia?
And Germany, maybe? Or at least EU.
Oh fuck yeah I should have said that I live in Germany… Thank you for your comment
Hey, if you would like, I buy from serverpartdeals all the time, I can be a shipping proxy for you since I have access to both US and DE mailing systems.
Bought 160TB from them about a year ago.
Appreciate the offer. I recently only build my home server and I just started to selfhost things Although I am looking on what to expand and when I dont think I will buy Hard drives or something else in the next 2 months for my server
No worries. My offer will still stand. I want to help others into this addiction.
They also have a large ebay presence but I have purchased from both their ebay store, and their web store depending on what I needed.

It was probably me. I use these two places + eBay primarily but I’m sure there are other good ones out there.
serverpartdeals.com/collections/hard-drives
diskprices.com

Diskprices can be a little wacky sometimes. There are clearly people who are gaming the system. You’ll see something crazy on there, and you click the link and it’s nowhere near what it says.
I always just do drives sorted by best TB/$ value and then skip any company I haven’t heard of and go with the cheapest name brand. Hasn’t failed me yet. Got many drives going on more than a decade of service now.

Yeah I think I remember thank you 😅 I just noticed are these also valid options for Germany or should I go with my usual places to hard drives of? Anyway thank you for your comment :)

I’m not sure what’s around for Germany, sorry. You may be able to use eBay to find local sellers cross-posting from their normal website?
