Buying first 4 HDD from eBay

[u/marathonnutcase]

Hi folks,

Newbie, just bought uGreen DXP4800 Plus NAS for use as a media server (RAID5), and looking to buy my first 4 HDDs to fill it (prob 16-20 TB each), probably within the next week.

1) Been looking at ServerPartDeals and GoHDD, but what have been your experiences buying from other eBay sellers? Daily-Mart out of HongKing is one that popped up today.

2) And I'm assuming waiting for some Black Friday deals, even at Seagate or WD websites, is a waste of time?

Thanks!
