3 x 16Tb Seagate disks. One is for parity. So around 29Tb of space. Got them used about 2 years ago.

When you got them, how many hours were they at?

The HDD I see around me have 60k hours ++ so I am a bit frisky considering what they ask for

I bought some low capacity SSD for 20$ each to install Proxmox and Proxmox Backup Server and was lucky that they both had only roughly 800 hours only, so that at least worked out for me

I think around 20.000 hours or about 2+ years.
