I want to by around 6 drives to add to my nas. I was waiting for black Friday sales but they only have modest discounts, recertified drives on ebay seems more enticing

what do you think?

Dell EXOs are Seagate drives with a firmware that is certified to work on Dell servers. But they will work on other systems just fine.
