I am new to this sub and often see people getting 10usd/TB sometimes even less, how do you guys achieve this? Second hand? What are some things or red flags I should watch out for buying HDD from someone other than well known retailers? Sorry if this had been asked a millions times before.

    I’ve had nothing but bad luck with “recertified” drives or whatever Amazon calls them. One of the five drives I got off Amazon is still working, and that seller no longer exists. Server Parts Deals has been amazing for used drives. There are also discord and Facebook groups for tracking sellers and stuff.
