Hi, I seek your help once again. I'm in the need of upgrading my storage now and I found what I consider to be a good deal via Amazon on an older gen enterprise WD drive that supposedly hasn't been used, but I'll let the power on hours tell me the truth. The price is about 16usd/TB and I'm wondering if this is a bad idea due to the age of the drive? I'm guessing the drive would be about 10 years old maybe. The plan would be to buy 2: 1 for my cold media backups and the other would be a backup for the cold media backup.

Nice!

Anyone knows how much shipping is to Europe (it's an option but you have to make an account etc, so if someone knows ... I'd be happy)?
