Hi so for black friday I'm deciding to upgrade my old 4TB hard drive with 4x10TB drives. I'm wondering if these ST10000VE0008, would be fine? They're real cheap compared to any other 10TB's and wondering if they'd be fine for backups/Jellyfin.

10TB for €120? Are these used drives?

I would strongly consider bigger drives. 18TB or more. Using small drives is expensive in the long run. More W per TB, more bays per TB, need for bigger and more expensive cases, need for HBAs and maybe some high end platform to get enough PCIe lanes etc.
