I want to by around 6 drives to add to my nas. I was waiting for black Friday sales but they only have modest discounts, recertified drives on ebay seems more enticing

what do you think?

    Exos aren’t inherently bad, I believe it is always going to be down to the specific model number as in their latest drive stat blog for q3, one model of 14tb exo had a ~6% failure rate, while the other had ~1.3% failure rate.

      Ya i’m not touching seagate then.

      I’ve run WD drives for like 25 years with 0 failures.
