Hey all you beautiful selfhosters,

What are your suggestions for frugally obtaining HDDs in the current economic climate? Specifically the EU (Netherlands).

I’m looking at second hand drives, but even those go for €100+ now, with bad sectors and all.

Can we organise a collective AI datacenter robbery and doll out some stolen drives? 😁

    Ebay, particularly GoHardDrives, or sometimes you’ll find new drives from random sellers.

    I also check ServerPartDeals. Drives are pricy these days, don’t sneeze near your NAS.

    Edit: I’m not sure if they ship internationally or not, however.
