Hey, I recently saw a comment on where to buy server hardware (mainly hard drives) sadly I forgot about the URL and didn’t save it. What are you guys favourite places to buy these kind of things? :D

EDIT: I should’ve said for the EU would be heavily preferable since I live in Germany, sorry for the confusion :/

    They are decommisioned datacenter drives, this could be for a variety of reasons (including errors). There are many discussions online about them wiping smart data.

    It depends on your use case, I have a few of their drives in a nas specifically for media. I received one bad drive that failed my burn in tests, which they exchange without issue. All of my important files are stored on a seporate ssd based store.

    All depends on your risk tolerence and needs.
