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!

    If you are planning on using a RAID1/5/6 (or SnapRAID), think about used drives. I’ve just bought 6 6TB drives for €8/TB (this). It all depends on what you need to store on those drives.

      I thought about it but man that uncertainty still spooks me a bit. Plus I’m looking for larger drives at this point since my current home server is pretty full up on SATA connections and hdd drive space. Maybe one of these days when I can afford a full on rack system.
