A 14 TB HDD to throw on my Plex server. Went with a cheap option from serverpartdeals.com.
I was using a 4 TB for the longest time and had to go through and delete stuff every month.
Those recertified drives are an amazing deal!
So glad you just mentioned this - I'll have to take a look!
Just don't put anything important on there without a backup. You never know how good the refurbish is on those.
I'm eventually gonna set up a proper RAID array with them to prevent data loss.
Remember RAID is not a backup! RAID is for increasing uptime and only happens to help protect data (in some cases) as a side effect. Make sure you have backups of anything important or irreplaceable on that drive, preferably offsite!
It's definitely not going to store anything important - that's all done by Backblaze.
It's more for convenience so that I don't have to download all my shows again if a drive fails.
This is the situation I'm in but also using a QNAP which I'm going to decommission in favour of a proliant, but of course I can't just swap the drives because of QNAPs damn proprietary FS
My purchase of the month (and year) is the proliant. I'll never touch QNAP kit again.
I got a 12TB HDD for the same reason this year. Finally sailing the seas again and got my parents on it with overseerr. Very easy for older gen X to use.
Nice deals! Thanks for sharing.
Does anyone knows of something like that based in Europe?
