I would rather get new, but seeing as I run unRAID, I am going to have to get two drives for the first purchase and new would be a huge pill to swallow.

The cost of 16TB re-certified drives seem to be the sweet spot price-wise for me. A pair of them would double my usable storage. A pair of 20's would cost $100 more, which is something else I might consider.

I just now noticed these a bit ago. Different product line from the same brand, but around the same price. I'm not sure if a drive labeled "factory" re-certified from Amazon can actually trusted to be that though. I hear better things about ServerPartDeals.
