hello, thanks for the great article!! 2 remarks from my side: * some smartctl -a ... output would have been nice ~ i don't care if it is from "when the drives where shipped" or from any later point in time * prices are somewhat ... aehm ... lets call them "uncompetitive" at least for where i'm at (austria, central-europe, eu) i compared prices normalized by cost pro TB with new (!) drives from the austrian price-portal "geizhals" * https://geizhals.at https://geizhals.at for example: for 3,5 inches HDDs sorted by "price / TB" * https://geizhals.at/?cat=hde7s&xf=5704_3.5%22~5717_SATA%203Gb%2Fs~5717_SATA%206Gb%2Fs&sort=r https://geizhals.at/?cat=hde7s&xf=5704_3.5%22~5717_SATA%203G... sometimes the prices are slightly higher for the used (!) drives ... sometimes also a bit lower, but imho (!) not enough to justify buying refurbished drives over new (!) ones ... just my 0.02€
