Good enough. Simple, cheap. Brilliant.
Anyone reading this have any suggestions as to where we all can source cheap high-volume drives, such as refurbs pulled from upgraded old racks?
I'm looking to source a cheap trusted family member if anyone has one going?
Location?
Lots of families seem to be relocating these days for some reason... Maybe try reaching out there. 👍

I have several of these and they been solid, before I would get refurb or open box from amazon and send them back if the smart failed, guessing a lot of people just stick their old drives in the box and return it so it wasn't great
Yeah serverpartdeals is legit. Between work and home, I think I've tested & deployed 150+ drives from them over the last 3yrs. No duds, no failures, no complaints. Great customer service on the corp side for big orders, too. 10/10 would recommend.
I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link). It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.
Googling around, the brand gets...mixed reviews. My use case is such that of this drive fails it's not a big deal.
