Thankfully for many folks there's the option of going either with whitelabel or recertified drives!

I think for the folks in the US this was a site that works: https://www.goharddrive.com/default.php

Whereas for those in the EU there's this: https://datablocks.dev/

For the second link, you'll have to ignore the horribly tasteless AI slop image for the site background (someone should e-mail them about it or something), the site itself is legit, bought some drives from them: https://blog.kronis.dev/blog/buying-some-drives-from-datablo...
