I'm going through this right now. I've been recording a lot of video over the last few years, and need more storage. Buying 4x new 8TB drives at $250-300 per drive isn't too appealing, though.

I just bought some used drives on ebay. It's a big discount, but also a big risk. Supposedly no issues in SMART, and power-on hours seemed reasonable. Hopefully it works out (they're currently shipping).

The bigger question as local storage grows is how/where to back it up.
