Hi all I'm only a budget and would like to use some of my current USB drives removed from their enclosures but also purchase a couple of reconditioned drives. All the recommendations I can find seem to be for US buyers, could anyone recommend somewhere in the UK apart from eBay? Thanks

Sorry if this has been asked before, I have checked. I've purchased a copy of hexos a couple of days ago and have managed to get very little of it working! I know it's a beta. I dug out my old PC running a i7 4th gen with 32GB, downloaded the ISO image and installed hexos. I originally installed 3 old 1TB HDD which managed to work fine as a pool. Once it was working in principal I removed any data from the drives using a Windows partition manager and installed all seven of them in my hexos. I wiped the SSD boot drive and went through the set up again. It creates the pool during the install but when I look at the booted OS it's gone. If I try and create the pool again, it creates it and says to wait for it to appear, it never does. I've rebooted the OS a number of times but still nothing. Running a NAS which doesn't create storage isn't something I can use even as an early beta. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I request a refund? Thanks in advance.
