12TB for $85 !
Chilly Brioschi:
I'm seeing a bunch of "brand name" 12tb refurbished drives @ $85
OK, so 2 Mirrored Disks as RAID1 for $170, and what are the odds that both would fail at same time?
"Big Data" comes to my double drive external bay...
Next up?
Flying cars!
Robotic house keepers ?
Self-cleaning laundry?!!!!
breakonthru:

serverpartdeals.com is another great source for recert drives, their 18TB have been $175-$190 for the last year and a half

HGST
$79 with 5 year seller warranty.
vendor has been around for a long time and is one of the two major players in the recert drive market.
id recommend doing a deep surface scan on these when you get em and of course keep backups as always

Now this one is interesting. Thanks!

"600 sold in the last 24 hours"!
Edit: fter reading the comments over on Slickdeals I bought a couple. Many people said they generally have gotten drives with 25,000 to 35,000 hours on them so they should still be good for another few years of general non-critical service. I'll dump them in the old Synology Plex server which will easily cover my video library plus my ripped CD collection.
