I’m looking for 16TB HDDs. They’ll be for fairly light usage. Immich will be the heaviest thing running on it.

New? Used? Certified? Like this?

    I’m using a western digital refurb HDD. 14TB.

    running 24/7 pretty much since the pandemic. It’s basically my media server.

      A WD? I also like living dangerously.gif 😊

      I kid of course. It could be absolutely appropriate depending on the data and budget.

        It is absolutely a dangerous life lol.

        I keep everything backed up. It was a temporary purchase that I fully did not expect to last 5 years.

        It’s literally been a clicker since day 1 lol.

        No failures. No slow reads. Just a zombie beast.
