So I've had my setup expanding as needed over the years. Currently it all sits in a Netapp DS4246. I've got 18/24 occupied with 6TB drives.

Now, having a drive failure normally isn't a big deal, eBay was typically cheap. Now I'm seriously reconsidering a rebuild later this year to just a handful of 20TB+ drives.

Browsing eBay it's 60-70 for a 6TB drive. Forget about a new drive being well over 100 bucks. It's like I'm living in crazy town.

How are you all managing, I got no more hit spares :(
