So it’s been a a few years since I’ve bought hard drives for my little home server and wanted to get a bead on what’s the target on dollar to TB in the post Covid world. Thanks!

Around $10/TB for used stuff which is what I run in everything.
Drives are going to fail at some point, regardless if new or used. So I’m not worried about used drives, I test them with a full write/read run initially, and have backups in place.
Sounds like good practice. If you’re depending directly on the reliability of the drive, you’re doing backups wrong.
Yup, data loss happens at some point, either hardware failure, software bugs, or just plain old user error.
