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? 😁
I’m in Hilversum but new, unopened drives will be out of my price range. I’m only capable of sub €50 purchases at the moment
Ah ok, I’ve had these drives for a while now but ended up using SSDs instead so they just sat in my parts drawer reminding me of a bad purchase xd.
Crazy how they are like 3x the price now from when i bought them in 2023
