ServerPartDeals has good reputation. I’ve been using used hard drives for years; used to only purchase new, but changed my opinion after trying some used enterprise drives. Also have a few used SSD’s that work fine.

Cheers!

Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time ™ ).
