Cost of SAS vs SATA Hard Drives | Shopping with Art of Server on eBay!!

I frequently hear people say that SAS HDDs are too expensive; that it is cheaper to build your storage server using SATA HDDs. Although this is generally true for brand new SAS vs SATA HDDs, the cost delta between SAS and SATA HDDs diminishes over time as the HDD ages. And there's a certain point where SAS HDDs are actually a bit cheaper than SATA HDDs if you're shopping for 2nd hand drives.

So, in this video, I'm taking you guys shopping with me on eBay to do a little price hunting for various HDD sizes and comparing the cost of SAS vs SATA. You will see that we dispell the myth that SAS is always more expensive than SATA. My hope is that this opens up additional options for you when you're shopping for HDDs for your storage servers.
