So it’s been a a few years since I’ve bought hard drives for my little home server and wanted to get a bead on what’s the target on dollar to TB in the post Covid world. Thanks!

    Around $10/TB for used stuff which is what I run in everything.

    Drives are going to fail at some point, regardless if new or used. So I’m not worried about used drives, I test them with a full write/read run initially, and have backups in place.

      Sounds like good practice. If you’re depending directly on the reliability of the drive, you’re doing backups wrong.
