For the price, are those drives ok? (alien.top)

Hi all,

Just saw those drives here, and I wanted to confirm that it was an ok thing to do?

I'm planning on buying a few of those, given the price.

Will be used for a remote gaming machine with a lot of volatile data (as saves will be backed up somewhere else, and the games are on steam anyway so not lost)

Planning on raid 6/10

Would you go ahead with it?

Was offered some trays of 1tb 3.5" new in bag recently and said noty.
Beyond just the pure baycount needed to scale some storage in those sizes, the consumption becomes equaly horrible.
