Hi folks,

Newbie, just bought uGreen DXP4800 Plus NAS for use as a media server (RAID5), and looking to buy my first 4 HDDs to fill it (prob 16-20 TB each), probably within the next week.

1. Been looking at ServerPartDeals and GoHDD, but what have been your experiences buying from other eBay sellers? Daily-Mart out of HongKing is one that popped up today.

2. And I'm assuming waiting for some Black Friday deals, even at Seagate or WD websites, is a waste of time?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Novice here (clearly). I have a library of movies, music, and files that have filled my 2TB MacBook Air and continues to grow. I'd like to offload them and not worry if a HDD goes down (I have backup covered with Backblaze).

Can I simply buy 2 drives (serverpartdeals, manufacturer recertified, 16TB SATA) and an enclosure (Sabrent/Cenmate, 2-bay software RAID1, USB3), and connect it to the MacBook and be done?

I'd love to connect it to a Mac mini and use it as a Plex server, but that feels beyond me. Thanks all!

the feature page on kia website says this but other sources say all USA trims

i suppose we will just have to wait to find out?
