What do you think about buying second hand disks and using higher redundancy?

For example 4x 16TB in RAIDz2? Is anyone using something like that? How’s it performing, reliability-wise?

E: Thanks all for the opinions and information!

    Do it. The last thing you need during a rebuild is the stress of not knowing how long / other issues with your specific setup.

    It’s only "disaster recovery* if you’ve never practiced… orherwise it’s just “recovery”
