I’ve been buying 8TB SAS drives from eBay. No failures yet and the price is far cheaper as they won’t work with conventional SATA controllers so there is less demand for them.
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.
