best black Friday deals on hard drives? I only see modest sales on new drivers, should I go with recertified? in c/[email protected]

So, I heard (no idea if it's true) that external drives are the lowest-quality drives that companies make, and the enterprise-class drives are generally the best.

The SPD drives come with a warranty as well. For the price difference, I'll take my chances on the recertified drives. I've only ever had one drive fail, and it was a WD external that was shucked.

2x 4 TB for $40, i had my head up my butt salivating at the deal

Definitely not a deal worth salivating over. And honestly, don't even think it's worth buying a SAS controller for. Just chalk it up to a loss, or try to re-sell them.

Would rather get a recert 18TB from SPD for the same price.

I'm surprised at how willing people still are to help this guy.
