eBay's purchase protection program doesn't really work!

So Hitachi is the best.
Umm, which Hitachi model of 500Gb do you suggest?
NAS application.

Where do you buy 2010 NOS s/ATA HDDs?
I rely on a physical store for NOS SCSI and FB disks, but they don't have sATA or SAS disks.

I said I wouldn't buy used HDDs on eBay. Actually I wouldn't buy used HDDs period, unless I had absolutely zero other choice, but in that case, I'd try anywhere rather than eBay, just too many crap on there these days.
This wasn't meant as advice.
And, pardon my ignorance, but what are 'NOS' disks?

New Old Stock

Presumably most of the 500GB drives out there were produced a long time ago.

Oh yeah, dang.
Well, the HP store on Amazon has 500GB SAS drives: https://www.amazon.com/HP-Internal-Drive-2-5-Inch-Drives/dp/B007KWX55I
I would trust it a bit more than the average eBay seller, but I don't guarantee anything.
