Anyone have any insights on how to get those 30-60gb drives cheap? No not steal. I’d be fine with 6 of the the 15.xx drives for raid6 with +/-40TB available. I’d love to get off spinning drives. Unfortunately everything is see is crazy expensive. As much as I like the speed I could live with not the fastest throughput (for SSD) I just want the low latency and hopefully if ever I have to rebuild an array speed during that seems critical. My current “issues” if they are that there’s about 4hrs a day when maintenance tasks run that the drives are pegged. It’s 4hrs because I’ve said that’s the window so there’s likely tasks going incomplete.

I’d like to do this for less than the price of a decent car 😳
