Second hand disks? - eviltoast

What do you think about buying second hand disks and using higher redundancy?

For example 4x 16TB in RAIDz2? Is anyone using something like that? How’s it performing, reliability-wise?

E: Thanks all for the opinions and information!

    4 of my 14tb drives are from server part deals, 2 10tb are old shucked WD. Have had no issues over the 4 years so far.
