Where do UK people buy their HDDs from? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I got a server recently and now I need storage and I’m a little upset seeing the prices of HDDs.

My aim is for 4x10TB to run on RAID 5.

I saw other people linking serverpartdeals and they do ship to the uk but the shipping is insane particularly as I want to buy them one at a time to spread the cost.

So what would you guys suggest? New ones are hella expensive, but I can’t seem to find any decent places selling manufacturer recertified ones.

I’ve used Robert’s Electronics several times in the past. Generally ship from Singapore but never had a problem with them. Always arrive well packed and have always been new and sealed.

Thanks this looks ok and reasonably priced. It does say ships from Singapore but it’s free shipping.

This is what annoys me about how trash search is these days. I’ve been searching for HHDs for days and not seen anything but the same few dozen sites.

Same when using Amazon, not to buy from but as a listing, and you put 10TB and you’ll see a few sponsored for 6TB. Like I don’t fucking want a 6TB else I woulda searched that.

Because I'm being rude and selfish today. It happens occasionally. My dog made me do it. Just before it ate my homework.
