A few days ago, I noticed someone posted a similar question about a specific hard drive on this subreddit. Sadly, I haven't received any responses about their experience. So, I'm hoping to get some advice from the community on whether anyone has dealt with the seller I'm interested in. I'm in the market for reliable 18 TB drives to upgrade my media server and NAS backup.
I got some new IronWolf Pro series HDDs when there was a good deal on Newegg for $340 Canadian, as I didn't want to pay full price. However, I'm looking to save some money here and there, though I understand that some might not agree with that. I've already spent most of my budget on setting up a strong system for my storage and services.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, especially if you know of options that work well for Canadians or are available from American companies, with the caveat of dealing with import fees. Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone, since I can’t edit the post. I’m noticing some people commenting with the server parts deal website and as much as I’ve already looked on that website multiple times I’ve had a lot of friends comment that the shipping and duties fee are a little high for what I’m comfortable with paying.
To paint a picture I’m just simply looking for a Canadian dollar friendly option as I’m pretty much on a small budget as I’ve already spent close to $1000 on just two brand new pro series drives.
I’m used to seeing a lot of people say that I can buy this drive for “$80 - 150 cad” at (website here) or (website there) but after doing a lot of research, I haven’t really had much luck finding anything close to what I’m looking for. You either have to shift through a lot of sketchy sellers hard drive Chia miner drives or occasional as is conditioned drives.
Where is case scenario? If I don’t find any good deals in Canada? I’ll probably just take the duties fees and buy From server part deal
