    Those cheap drives will have been run really hard, though. I don’t know how much I’d trust them with anything important.

      True it depends largely on the manufacturer of the drives but yah agreed, likely to be used harder than your typical large scale vps/web server hosting company but, still, its gotta help the pricing market some because its just bonkers expensive now for used drives.
