Oh sure, just buy more disks. Who do you think I am, that guy on the Monopoly box?
I stocked up on a few shuckable externals before the start of the second Grump catastrophe. $280/24TB (Exos inside). I'm finally getting around to setting up a pool, thinking 4+1 is kind of poor redundancy and wondering about adding another disk. The things are up to over $1,000 each, in the husk or not. Fucking hell. It makes me want to drastically scale back the size of my new pool in case a drive does die so I don't end up needing to buy a replacement any time soon.
