Are your files going to be safer with Synology hard drives?
Where buy ex corporate hardware (ideally aus, but intl shipping ok)? I only know where to find drives. Have been meaning to build a NAS but am financially restrained.
eBay or Facebook marketplace usually
I usually browse craigslist, but in larger cities there are usually companies that handle warehousing and selling of old hardware when company IT does a full office upgrade. FWIW, I use old workstation hardware because it is usually less finicky and power hungry than rack hardware.
I’m a little out of the loop, but a few years ago a lot of ex-corp stuff tended to get dumped on Gray’s. Might be worth a look but I have no idea how enshittified it is these days.
