Hi guys,

I’m building my first NAS and I was looking for HDD options. I was looking for buying a used HDD from eBay but I read some posts here recommending avoiding that.

I did some research on Amazon and I have found some interesting offers like this one here

A 4TB HDD from HGST with a 5 Years of warranty, is it a good deal to go with?

    The warranty is only as good as the company offering it. In this case it would be offered by the seller, Evrymm, which sounds like one of those generic Chinese spam selling accounts. You may actually get the disk, but I wouldn’t count on getting a replacement under any kind of warranty except for the 90 day Amazon one.
