Costs I estimate to be typical for 1 HDD, about 120USD which is about 170CAD

For 5 HDDs, I estimate about 485USD which is about 685CAD.

Ymmv, and these drives are if you just want bulk capacity at the lowest price over all else.

    Basically. Keep in mind that these enterprise drives are often much better built and have much better QC than consumer level drives, so they can last forever. It’s kind of like debating between a used 4-year-old Toyota Corolla and a brand new Range Rover.
