Hello, I'm going to make this a quick question.

Simply put, I currently run some 20TB Seagate Exos x20 drives. I was looking to purchase more for a mixture of things. I am on server parts deals looking at new and recertified.

For the same price point I could get 5 new or 6 recertified. The main goal is using 4 and the rest are spares. So for the new option if have an additional spare or get the recertified and have two additional spares.

Thoughts on which is the better route to go?
