Help me to find a place to purchase wholesale hard disks to set up a mining farm

As I wrote in the title of this post I'm looking for a place where to purchase wholesale price HDD for mining purposes. I'm ready to invest a decent amount of money.

@ccminer It will depend where you live as shipping costs come into play. Cost per TB should be your main deciding factor (imho). What type of setup will you go for Internal SATA, external USB3 or NAS? Research, then research some more before you spend anything.

I'm in italy now and I purchased 10 tb (2 x 5tb seagate maxtor external Hard drives) costs per tb -+ 24 USD or 25 EURO

@ccminer So you need to search for local providers first as their shipping costs will be less and hence a cheaper cost per TB(in general). As I am in a different country my shipping costs will be different to yours. Google hardware suppliers in your area other places to try are ebay, amazon, auctions as i said before, do lots of research and you will find deals.

@ccminer since you live in a fairly big country, try to look around for a bankrupt/written off stuff auctions, that way you might be able to get albeit smaller capacitys but real cheap.

@LithStud well I really didn't think about this solution. Thx You gave me a nice tip ;)

@ccminer its one of the things i would like to be able to do myself :) but country too small so they sell only some old crap lol

Hi.? Is there difference between drives? When i go to ebay. I find 3 types of disk. Pc, video, and NAS. We can just plot on Pc hdd and NAS Disk? How about video? Or the survellance disk? Thanks..

@xmagmax they give names to models according speed of drive (NAS 5400RPM, Desktop 7200RPM, ..etc)
For Burst, Speed is not factor compared to capacity.
Buy highest capacity drives with lowest prices per TB.
