On of my HDDs in my server has a power-on time of 5.7 years already. Damn! I was trying not to, but here I am looking into buying hardware in 2026. Do the fine folks of @homelab have any crucial hints for me? How do I not buy fakes or relabeled ones? Any way to save some bucks or is it just what it is? I'm looking at CMR NAS-grade HDDs with about 6-10 TB.
