Jesus Christ no. They can't even enforce the actual rules properly with the aid of slow motion replays and advanced technologies. This will be a disaster.

Recertified Hard Drives - What does this mean? (serverpartdeals.com)
 

Hi all. I've seen a few drives described as recertified like the one I have linked. Can anyone tell me what this means? Is it the same as used/refurbished? They all seem to be much cheaper than new so are catching the eye but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea.

I'm an idiot. Thought HDDs were just the standard standalone hard drives that didn't require an enclosure! So yeah, it's HDDs I should be looking for ๐Ÿซ

Lol, going by some of the responses I'm getting I think I'm using the wrong term ๐Ÿ˜… this is an example of what I'm talking about: https://serverpartdeals.com/products/seagate-exos-x20-st20000nm007d-20tb-7-2k-rpm-sata-6gb-s-3-5-recertified-hard-drive

Sering refurbished 20TB ones for just over โ‚ฌ200 on Serverpartdeals.com. Would they be reliable?

SSD Advice (alien.top)
 

Hi all, I recently bought my first enclosure. I've been looking at SSDs on Amazon but I'm not sure what to go with. Can anyone recommend a good 20TB SSD? I'll be using it for Plex. Are there any good sales at the moment anywhere (I'm in Ireland, not sure where to look!). This is the enclosure I bought:

When I have a chance I'll check to received enclosure to see if its max capacity SSD is 16 or 20TB as it mentions both in the pictures and written description!

Hard Drive Enclosure Advice (alien.top)
 

Hi all. This looks like the right place to ask but sorry if it's not! I'm looking to expand my storage for my Plex library. I've always just used single external hard drives but want to start expanding my 4K library so have decided to go for a hard drive enclosure. From what I'm reading I think I should be going for a 4 bay enclosure with USB 3.2 and 10Gbps transfer speeds. Not much is coming up for me, the closest I've really found to what I want is the following: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TERRAMASTER-D6-320-External-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B0BZC3HCNC/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=3DT8IXL1YR24L&keywords=4+bay+hard+drive+enclosure+usb+3.2&qid=1700248853&sprefix=4+bay+hard+drive+enclosure+usb+3.2%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.23648568-4ba5-49f2-9aa6-31ae75f1e9cd

It's a little bit pricey and was hoping I could maybe find a 4 bay for cheaper but not much us coming up. Would anybody here be able to recommend a 4 bay enclosure with USB 3.2? Is the one I've linked actually a good deal? I'm in Ireland so preferably from a European store! Thanks.
