I'm building a new media server and unfortunately it will require 12x20TB drives.

 

It's actually insane.

The total cost for building the nas without drives is about $600.

With the drives (using 20tb WD reds from amazon as an example, which is the same prices as local retailers), the cost balloons up to around $6300!

 

Wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to buying full priced reds from my local retailer/amazon, or if I just have to accept the high cost, due to the number/size of drives required for the project?
