What’s the smallest HD in production these days? 500GB?

It's not a very rigorous answer, but I sorted HDDs on Newegg by price ascending, and the cheapest one was 1TB @ 44USD. There were several 128 and 120GB SSDs below that.

You can buy used multiples of 6TB SAS on ebay. I've seen 4x6TB/£450.

If I were to build a home NAS - I'd probably use these. It's harder, by the way - to find proper cheaper SATA drives, on the other hand.

There must be something wrong with them then. Everyone knows data can be recovered and or decrypted and sane practice is to physically destroy them when they fail/obsolete.

I've seen 500GB on Amazon, but you can get a 1TB for only a few bucks more.
