What is the intelligent (or at least MOST intelligent) way to buy used HDDs?
And I don't mean refurbished stuff, I mean going on a second hand website and seeing a post where some dude is selling hard drives in bulk.
The kind where the picture is super compressed and features just a stack of these drives on a table somewhere.
Are there any practical ways to make sure on-location that it's reasonable?
>Why not just get refurbished stuff?
I live in a small country, and the smaller it is the more niche niches are

The N4 fits my wants and needs perfectly except it wants an SFX power supply and what I have is an ATX one.
I don't want to overpay for some bullshit gamer 750+ watt power supply when the 550w one I have is already probably overkill for my needs and wants, but at this point I'm very tempted to just take the L and subsidize a new power supply with my old one.
The N5 is just a bit too large for me, especially since I'm not planning to use anywhere near that many drives.
The N4 biggest drawback (those stupid, non-hot-swappable bits) are absolutely fine for me because 4 drives is what I'm aiming for.
