For those of you who build your own NAS, what are you willing to buy used? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

My NAS is almost filled with used parts, mostly lightly used. Only the power supply is brand new as the form factor is hard to find.(flex ATX, I bought an FSP FlexGURU)

IMO excluding HDD, most hardwares can be used without much consequence: CPU, RAM(I only trust original/major grade sticks), case and perhaps power supply(from reputable brand and known good model)

I had no idea these are notoriously bad? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

ST3000DM001 is bad, even backblaze documented over 30% failure rate in their datacenter workload.
