Second hand disks? (www.ebay.ca)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

What do you think about buying second hand disks and using higher redundancy?

For example 4x 16TB in RAIDz2? Is anyone using something like that? How's it performing, reliability-wise?

E: Thanks all for the opinions and information!

4 of my 14tb drives are from server part deals, 2 10tb are old shucked WD. Have had no issues over the 4 years so far.

Thanks! I've been running 5x16T from SPD for over 6 months with zero issues.
