You can read more on my homelab and datahoarding problem here and here. Today I scored two recertified 10TB HGST drives for very little. Normally I’d go for the brand new stuff, but this deal was too good to be true. My main goal is to check if these recertified disks are worth the money/effort. Next up I want to experiment with a new ZFS pool setups. (You still cannot remove a raidz vdev from your pool in 20241)...
