Looking to build a small RAID server, I need 3-4 drives of size 200gb or larger.

Suggestions? They're going to host important data... but they'll be redundant so a failure isn't out of the question.

I found these:

Recertified, dirt cheap.

Price per gigabyte isn't as important as low overall price.

Never had any problems with the two I have, but they weren't refurbs. Wonder if those are just returns (can't legally sell returns as new)?

I have never used refurbished HDDs, so I have no opinion on that.

These look yummy:

ES drives (enterprise level). No warranty but the price is hard to beat.

Only 2 per customer though, crappy number for a decent raid setup.

Meh, doesn't matter. I can sign up for an account from work w/ a different card and have it shipped there, or have a friend order a pair.

Ah I thought it was on business coin without much flexibility to avoid limits.
