Hey everyone,

I am trying to purchase a pair of Toshiba MG drives for a small NAS. I had an 'experience' with a seller on Amazon (Toshiba drive sealed in WD anti-static bag, recovery software R-Studio showed extensive usage, and S.M.A.R.T. data had been reset! 😯 (thankfully refunded)), so I'm now wary of third-party sellers on Amazon/eBay, even if they claim them to be new and with warranty.

I'm looking at sizes between 12 and 16Tb and having trouble finding reasonable prices. There seems to be a monopoly in the UK, as Scan seems to be one of the only known companies able to get stock of these sizes.

Can anyone recommend a good deal from a reliable outlet, please?

Thank you for reading this far. :)
