Alternative is buying used disks. Locally I could find them for 20 a piece
To go with this you can also look at https://www.goharddrive.com/. They provide white label drives and refurbished drives with a three year warranty in my case. ~$110 USD for a 12TB Seagate Ironwolf.
The reliability could be hit and miss no? These could have a bajillion hours on them, depending on where they came from. 20 may be a bargain, until you have to keep replacing them every 2 years or less. Just guessing here.
