Coupon is only valid when you buy within the latest version of the eBay Mobile App on iOS or Android.

I hate it when they do this.

And not usable until the 21st. So my RAM will sit. But, thanks OP!

Worked for me on RAM, about 20 minutes ago. I used an android with the most updated Ebay app.

Load your cart up using the website and only checkout with the app. Afterward you can uninstall the app.
Yep; I call it doing the dance...

Undecided on a Cyberpower 1500VA UPS for the remote rack or a Synology DS1618+ that I have absolutely no use for.

Im looking for some SAS3 SSD drives 800+ size to use with FreeNas to setup as storage pool for VMs. Looking for cheap as possible, any suggestions so i can make use of the coupon? I have 8 2.5 bays available with sas3 backplane and HBA card that is pass-though to FreeNas already. I have some sas2 100GB ssd drives now, but the size is too small to make use for my VMs.

I requested some info on a Mobo version, and then Seller (server reseller I bought from in the past), sent me an offer which was just 5% off. Looks like I cannot apply the 15% off code as well as the seller's Offer.

I haven't seen a HGST 400GB SAS3 go for $50. Doesn't mean they don't exist. Perhaps someone else has. Best to you in your search.

I did see your drives FS thread, but im trying to score drives around 50 each and didnt want to make a low offer on your drives. I might also be off on drive prices to be honest as well.
The last "great deals" thread on HGST HUSMM8040 (400GB) I think was $100, and maybe someone scored a BO of $80 each or so. But yeah, definitely not $50. I think the older SAS-2 variety might have seen $50?

Yeah, older SAS2 (still fast) were $50 and went quick iirc, screaming deal.

I may have one MLC SAS2 kicking around, and know I have 24+ SLC all SAS2.

i figured it was a super long shot.
My franken dell r720 has two 8bay cages one set sas2 and the other sas3, so I could probably get away with sas2 drives but would rather they be 800GB or higher capacity.

Alternatively, i might just replace the bay with nvme cage and get add-on card. Just dont know how well older gen (e5-2600v2) motherboards will support that
