Does anyone have a go to Canadian source for refurbished enterprise HDD's? I've had a good experience buying from serverpartdeals.com, but am unaware of Canadian alternatives.

SPD have increased their prices over theast few months BTW. I compared with the last drives I got sometime last year and there was a significant bump.

I have a couple of spares but if we don't find a decent alternative, I might look at AliExpress tbh.

Maybe email the people at refurb.io and tell them to get on it. We have loads of datacenters here in Canada and I'm sure companies are liquidating old hardware regularly. I wonder where it ends up here.

My company makes heavy use of https://www.bauersystems.com/ and they've always been reliable and decently priced.

Do you know if they sell disks? I don't see any.

I love the spreadsheet approach to managing inventory.

https://usedservers.ca/ sometimes has some, but they are mostly enterprise SaS drives

My wife is not going to be happy that I discovered this site…

Some decent prices there though

They don't always list everything either, if you're looking for something specific it's worth giving them a call. Well tested and warrantied stuff too. Good people.

deltaserverstore.com has some stuff but not much for used hard drives...
