Does your organization have a datacenter? Bloop is looking for some donations of reliable, high-capacity, identical harddrives aka spinning rust. Performance less of an issue. Maybe a dozen drives. Get in touch if you can help!

What is 'high capacity'?
I have 5 2TB NAS HDDs in storage. Identical models. Previously in my home server, they were decommissioned when I replaced them with 4 6TB ones.
Note, 5, not 4, because smartctl started warning and I replaced it as a precaution. Others are fine.
If you're interested and happy to pay for shipping from Cape Town, they're yours. Alternatively, I'm leaving for Belgium on Thursday. I could take them and ship from there if you confirm soon.

@wouter appreciate the offer! I'd like to aim for 8TB on the low side; also shipping overseas might be a bit much!
@bloopmuseum
Yeah, it definitely might be a bit much. Just thought I'd offer, they're just lying there gathering dust. 🤷
Good luck with the search!
