I would only ever buy new HDDs tbh. But also, I bought a stack of 8TB HDDs in 2023 for €180 a piece and those same models are now €300... Thanks, Obama.
Anyway, I have 4 of those, 1 is parity, so 24TB of actual space. I started with a 2TB collection from my laptop harddrive and I'm now at 7TB used. I used to be more cautious with my space and I still have my *arrs set to stingy profiles now, to make downloads faster, but I also download and keep a lot more.
I do sometimes go through and delete stuff that I won't watch (either watched and didn't like or never watched). But that's more so I won't get tempted to watch it than for the space currently.
You can get refurbished HHDs for much cheaper
As long as they have a 2 year warranty you are good
Yeah but only in non-striping RAID. I had one of those fail after less than one year, RAID5 saved me from data loss.
