You’re kidding right… please tell me this is a subtle attempt to troll… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HGST Hitachi… Bought by WD… literally Hitachi made some of the most historically dependable hard drives for at least an era. *edit* I...

Just a heads up, this seller also has 14tb WD (HGST) Ultrastar 530's that work out to $7 a TB also (after coupon) - $98 for a 14tb enterprise drive is great considering I bought a lot of these drives at 2-3x that price just two years ago. I have...

Haha. Sorry to join the chorus. Couldn’t resist, Yes this is a legit deal for sure. Data centers probably cycle the drives out after xyz hours of utilization to get ahead of any potential issues. I work with one of the biggest and the scale of...

I have been plagued by comments like that for 20+ years but that was the most clever one yet. Seriously tho $7 a TB on a 10TB drive from a seller that offers no questions asked refund/return/replacement battleship drive I guess I thought worth...

I have to admit thats pretty funny ;)

I always buy my refurbished eBay hard drives at places recommended by a guy named hardware_failure ! 😄

Deal is still alive on Amazon, if you check the coupon box you get $100 off and this becomes $999. I've seen it in person and it feels a little too skinny for me. I know weird to say for a 49" monitor. It's really just an elongated version of...

I love my 57! It's a work productivity titan and I enjoy gaming on it too!

Wow e-boner achieved, good thing there isn't a Microcenter near me, might have a hard time convincing the wife that "yeah that's the same monitor that has always been there"

So tempting just because. Anyways, free bump for looking.

Shave off another $100+ and this would be good. I've been sitting on a 1080ti for a while myself. Seems the stores and vendors piled up a few too many of the RX6000 cards.

Right? ive been limping along with my 1080 waiting for an upgrade for the last 5+ years! Remember the days when the previous gen of gpus were $200-$400 less then the current top of the line? Yeah its insane how this came off the rails on the 2020...

Didn't get a response, offered again at 210, someone else bought it at full price. Ah well. Didn't really need one, used the money instead for a dual socket boinc rig, but it would have been cool...

Offered 210, he took the offer. Last one left, maybe 200 he might let it go :)

Just offered 200. We'll find out...

This question can't be answered without more information. How many of your clients direct play (which doesn't really tax the CPU) vs transcode? The files that are being transcoded, what resolution and encoding are they? How many simultaneous...

He's got good feedback for other enterprisy related equipment. 'sides ebay is always a gamble :) Err yeah 300, I meant 400 CAD. Don't ask.

I’d take the low usage with a grain of salt in the absence of screenshots with “fio-status” output. I’ve had the misfortune of buying dead ones that ebay sellers had not even tested. That said, the sx350 6.4tb was one of the last/best FusionIO...

Good point about the fio-status info! I asked the seller for a screenshot with fio-status output and was told the drives were already packaged for shipping and he wouldn't be able to test them in a system. He said to make an offer, so I threw in...
