There’s currently a sale on the Western Digital website. I was thinking of getting the Red Pros since they’re high capacity and relatively quiet. In a previous post I made on the datahoarders community, I was looking for an HDD that was basically silent since the NAS will be next to my desk where I WFH.
Currently, two 18 TB drives are going for $620 or about $17.22 per TB. Not the best deal but definitely better than their normal price. I know a lot of people like buying used drives but the ones for sale are usually loud enterprise edition drives which won’t work for me. Should I buy the drives now or wait until BF for a possibly better sale?
A good smack with a hammer then trash like any other electronic.
or
Disassemble the drive, crack/scratch the platters, trash like any other electronic
That’s not recycling.
In Germany we don’t really have the concept of landfills.
Here usually everything is recycled to some degree.
That’s pretty awesome!
