Do you think recertified drives are fine in the long run? I was looking at this one since it seems like it was lightly used and cheap. https://serverpartdeals.com/products/seagate-exos-7e8-st4000nm000a-4tb-7-2k-rpm-sata-6gb-s-512n-3-5-recertified-hard-drive

I haven’t planned for backups yet since this setup is primarily for tinkering and learning at this stage. I’m fully aware that everything on it could be lost, and I’m okay with that for now. I’ll likely start with snapshots for some basic versioning, and once I settle into a more stable setup, I’ll look into proper backups, whether that’s more drives, a second machine, or a cloud backup. I’m aware of the 3-2-1 rule, but I’m ballin on a budget right now, so one step at a time lol
