Where can I get some cheap Hard Drives?

[grimreeper132]

I need some old hard drives, as long as they are bigger than 480GB in size they will do and they are cheap, I have looked at the normal places I look, ebay, gumtree, ETC. any ideas on where to look? I need them to run OS's for some PC's I own and depending on the pricing of the hard drives they may be put into a NAS to be used as storage or kept as a spare for when I need them.

CEX, they're a shop in the UK, AU and 'merica, they have 1TB drives for like $28 AUD

I know you already checked eBay, but check again. A budget would be great to help me narrow down something for you. In my experience, SeaGate Hard Drives always have the best value and last very long.

I wouldn't trust eBay for drives. Took a gamble and got a dud that arrived DOA thanks to subpar packaging.

That is a possibility I am looking into their pricing and might get them from there

to be honest I don't have a budget, it's more a I want it to be the cheapest, but still working drives possible, and at the moment ebay isn't going that.

I have had many issues with ebay myself, and the only one I have fixed so I'm alright with getting them from there
