Cheap Drives, Best Source...
I used Digital Spaceport as the source for these 18TB white label SAS drives because the $/TB was hard to ignore. The whole point of the video is understanding the “why” behind that price and then doing my normal provisioning process so they drop cleanly into my Chia storage workflow.

Pros
- +Very strong price per terabyte on large capacity drives
- +Good option if you’re building big storage and care about watts per TB
Cons
- -White label/returned-lot background adds uncertainty versus retail drives
- -May require extra validation (SMART review, surface scan) before trusting with important data
