the drives I’ve purchased from them in the past have been great considering they’re used server parts.
Where do you get a 12 tb drive for $100?
They're much cheaper than $20 off a new drive. I bought a 14TB WD server drive from them within the last year for less than it cost me to get an 8TB Elements/Easystore on sale back in 2018. It was easily 50% of the new price for a similar drive.
Not to sound snarky or anything, but since when do prices go down? If people were willing to pay the inflated price, there's no incentive for them not to make that the new standard.

I agree to some extent, but even before then hardware was getting expensive thanks to stuff like the Bitcoin mining craze. Harddrives have been getting cheaper on a dollar per TB basis for a long time (as they should), but I remember the days when it was cheaper to build a gaming PC than to buy a new console, and those days are long gone. And after COVID hit, greedflation set in to declare what the new normal is.
A new 12 TB drive is literally 300€ now.
I don't think it was EVER 100€ for a 12TB, certainly not helium filled. Prices during covid went up, but not even near 3x for hard dives.
This post is like fate. Just yesterday I came to the conclusion my HDD in my aging PC is going screwy.
These guys have deals all the time, I see them pop up on slickdeals a lot
I was already planning to just drive to microcenter like it was 2017 or something.
