En-Disk-ification part 2 (the resolution)

After [losing a NAS hard disk and then its expensive replacement also getting lost](https://blog.themillhousegroup.com/2026/08/en-disk-ification.html), I had to resort to reporting the non-arrived item to eBay. To their eternal credit, they promptly refunded me in full. I have been an buyer and seller on that platform with a 100% reputation for over 20 years, it has to be worth something! Incredibly, within days of the refund hitting my bank account, I was able to find a secondhand 6TB WD Red HDD at a very reasonable price, only a handful of dollars more than the 4TB I'd ordered. So I grabbed it, and now the NAS is in a healthy (albeit slightly unbalanced and wastful) state:
So all's well. Now to just find another well-priced 6TB disk to balance it up and contain the ever-increasing storage space demands.
