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? 😁

    Do you happen to live in zuid holland?

    I have 2 unopened Seagate IronWolf ST4000VN006 that I’ll be happy selling.

    No idea what a fair price or your budget would be. That is if you are interested in these drives to begin with.

      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
