I’m looking for 16TB HDDs. They’ll be for fairly light usage. Immich will be the heaviest thing running on it.
New? Used? Certified? Like this?
This is a great reference:
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-2023/Serverpartdeals is a good source for cheaper drives.
I bought two of those serverpartdeals drives after seeing them recommended on reddit after searching for good refurbished drives and they have been running fine for a few months now with no errors in the smart data

I’m using a western digital refurb HDD. 14TB.
running 24/7 pretty much since the pandemic. It’s basically my media server.
A WD? I also like living dangerously.gif 😊
I kid of course. It could be absolutely appropriate depending on the data and budget.
It is absolutely a dangerous life lol.
I keep everything backed up. It was a temporary purchase that I fully did not expect to last 5 years.
It’s literally been a clicker since day 1 lol.
No failures. No slow reads. Just a zombie beast.
