Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    The cheaper way is to either use shucked EasyStores when they’re on sale or to buy them from ServerPartsDeals or whatever the site is called.

    I got some 18TB drives for $200 from them. With EasyStores, 14TB drives are about the same price. The 18TB drives are refurbed and come with a shorter warranty, but you have to be rather careful with the EasyStores to maintain the warranty and you’ll still likely lose it.
