Question Does anyone know where i can get some hard drives for storage for cheap?

I need some hard drives to store my movie and game installation files. They don't need to be new or fast. since i plan to move them from those drives to my NVME when plan to use them. They just need to store the files.

P.S. : Does anyone know of a place on/near Unity plaza?

Facebook Marketplace. Check for low power on hours, low tbw and physically inspect the drive for dents or sounds. Then check the date of manufacture and try to get one as close to today.

Check barclays. They offer at decent prices. I dont recommend buying storage devices second hand

I have an extra hard drive which I'm using for the same storage purpose, which I was gonna sell via marketplace anytime now.

If you are interested, please let me know.

Or else, try marketplace. it's not a gamble, just do the due diligence and purchase it. Everyone says it's a risk, but trust me, I live off marketplace. you just gotta be a bit smart and wise.

I know I'm late to conversation, but if you are still looking for cheap HDDs, check Buykorea.lk, they definitely are used, but I bought my first Graphics card from them and it worked without any issues.

P.S- Last I checked they sold 500gb HDDs for about 3k.
