Has anyone bought from here before? Looking to upgrade my NAS drives.
You're viewing a single thread.
the drives I’ve purchased from them in the past have been great considering they’re used server parts.
considering they’re used server parts.
That really should be in the title...
I dunno, I'm one of those people who never stops using a drive until it breaks, and they never really break anymore. Oldest in my current PC is probably 20 year old HDD.
So yeah, these probably are fine and will still last a long time.
But for like $20 more you don't have to worry about losing the data on it.Edit:
Apparently prices just haven't changed in half a decade or longer? I knew prices went up for COVID, assumed they went back down at some point.
Where do you get a 12 tb drive for $100?
Yeah, that's crazy.
I guess all those $100 deals were used too.
So I guess at least used prices went down?
But I remember years ago a shuckable 12tb for like $120-140 on sale wasnt unusual on buildapcsales.
They're much cheaper than $20 off a new drive. I bought a 14TB WD server drive from them within the last year for less than it cost me to get an 8TB Elements/Easystore on sale back in 2018. It was easily 50% of the new price for a similar drive.
Not to sound snarky or anything, but since when do prices go down? If people were willing to pay the inflated price, there's no incentive for them not to make that the new standard.
The entire existence of computers outside the last five years...
I agree to some extent, but even before then hardware was getting expensive thanks to stuff like the Bitcoin mining craze. Harddrives have been getting cheaper on a dollar per TB basis for a long time (as they should), but I remember the days when it was cheaper to build a gaming PC than to buy a new console, and those days are long gone. And after COVID hit, greedflation set in to declare what the new normal is.
A new 12 TB drive is literally 300€ now.
I don't think it was EVER 100€ for a 12TB, certainly not helium filled. Prices during covid went up, but not even near 3x for hard dives.
This post is like fate. Just yesterday I came to the conclusion my HDD in my aging PC is going screwy.
These guys have deals all the time, I see them pop up on slickdeals a lot
I was already planning to just drive to microcenter like it was 2017 or something.
