Where to buy HDDs cheap? - BiggusThiccus - 06-24-2025
Hi Guys,
Thought I would reach out and see if anyone can help me with this pain.
Recently have bought a Ugreen 4800+ and obviously need to fill it with drives. Issue is, the large HDDs are eye wateringly expensive whilst the mid sized ones seem too poor for £ per GB.
Are there any places where you would recommend finding cheap(er) drives or even refurbed?
Thanks

I was in a similar situation when setting up my NAS. I ended up buying a couple of old enterprise HGST drives off eBay.

I did end up looking for HGST drives on Ebay and they do seem the best price per GB. are they reliable even 2nd hand?
