I'm in the rebuilding stage of my TrueNas server. A flooding bathroom delivered water down 3 stories of our house into the nice new office I build 6 weeks earlier in our basement. This also was 2 weeks after placing every piece of computer equipment I own into a nice neat rack. I had 2 machines. One with 8 6Tb and one with 8 8tb drives. Total actual content stored was about 23Tb. During the rebuild I hope to hit about 100Tb of available space. I'm looking at buying drives now and have been contemplating buying these renewed drives. In the past, I shucked the 6tb and 8tb drives from portables. I also had time to research and plan better. Unfortunately I feel rushed in this situation to recover data from those 2 machines. Thought about using 10 14tb drives. Here are the 2 I'm thinking about.
This HGST drive renewed
Or this unknown Drive. I've seen people say WD but others Seagate. I hope not Seagate. I have actually already ordered 6 of these but thinking about returning them for the HGST.
They were both the same price at $169 but today I see the Arsenal is now $209
