       I needed 2 SAS 4TB drives for my NAS. Found a lot of 10 on eBay for $250. Even if only half work, it’s a good deal. Now to find a use for the other 8…#selfhosted #homelab #nas

       @paco I have a feeling that @jimsalter would probably have his blood pressure go up at seeing somebody trust/use a box of unknown drives of unknown providence and unknown state from eBay. BE VERY CAREFUL. In fact you might want to just not use them…

       @Danathar Explain? I mean, these 10 are like the most recent 10. I must have 30 more in the garage that I sourced the same way. Whats the danger?@jimsalter

       @paco@infosec.exchange @Danathar@twit.social @jimsalter@fosstodon.orgHidden partitions with badness on them. If you fdisk you're probably ok. Although there is bios malware that survives that stuff but I've been out of hardware too long to know if that applies to drives.
