What numbers are you looking at for 5x?

Making sure I'm looking at new hard drives, I see prices around $15/TB at the cheap end. There are a few name-brand SSDs at $45/TB, many more at $50/TB. They're not high end but even the low end is fast these days.

Just like SSDs are $50 at the cheap end; I have seen HDD at $10 on the cheap end.

Definitely new ones? When and where? I keep an eye on prices and I've never seen that.

Although the ads I saw claimed to be new drives, I have no way to verify that they are not refurbished. Of course, I don't know if the $50 per tb SSDs are reliable either.
