I would suggest looking at NCIX or Neweggs eBay accounts. They have some Seagate and WD HDD on there that are ok.

Don't buy used drives.

Also, you can get 2TB drives new from a regular retailer like NCIX, amazon, or wherever else.

Much more reliable than ebay.

we can't post ebay links, look it up on ebay. 

You can post eBay links, just not advertising your own stuff and not in hot deals. Community Standards doesn't mention it otherwise. If we're not allowed, the rules need to be re-written, so maybe a mod will see this and correct me if I'm wrong. 

 

And @OP I really wouldn't advise buying HDDs off eBay (unless from an eBay store for a trusted retailer).

I think if you can get them cheaply... I think it would make for a great university research paper on what can be recovered from used hard drives. 

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?
