Hi, i have a dilema to chode between HGST He12 Ultrastar 12TB - 140USD (27750 hours) Toshiba N300 Pro 12TB - 230USD (Brand new)

For my home nas storing my family photos backup (Immich) and Nextcloud backups.

What do you think is the low price worth going witl older drive? I heard that the HGST are pretty reliable.

I plan to buy 2 disks and mirror them as 12TB will be enought for years and I will have to probably replace the disks sooner than i will need more storage.
