Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

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?

I don't need that much storage but want to build a small NAS. Any deals on 2 x 8TB drives or so? (or a little bigger is OK if a much better deal). Just don't want to invest much in it since I only need around 2-3tb right now.
