Hello,
I see a lot of people buying refurbs/used disks from eBay and recently started doing the same, waaaay cheaper.
But warranty is sometimes out of the question (oem, outside warranty period etc)... which makes me unsure about my purchase decisions.
So, right now I'm swapping out my 3 & 4 TB disks for 8 TB disks, and bought:
- Ultrastar He8 8TB SaS (0F23693) 3x for 700eu tot ( those are dells... so oem..., but the price brought me over).
So on to the next, I can pickup:
Anyone experience with this?
Second thought: I could buy cheaper 4 TB / 6TB drives... as I soon receive a 60bay jbod... but that means i'll have to swap them out later anyway
