Hey all you beautiful selfhosters,

What are your suggestions for frugally obtaining HDDs in the current economic climate? Specifically the EU (Netherlands).

I'm looking at second hand drives, but even those go for €100+ now, with bad sectors and all.

Can we organise a collective AI datacenter robbery and doll out some stolen drives? 😁

You can buy a secondhand laptop on marktplaats for under €100 and take out the hard drive then sell the rest. I got one with 256GB for €15 not long ago.
