Stumbled on this; don't currently need one but it's still less than $60 with less than 24 hours to go.

They also started at considerably higher, so I was surprised to see that one start for so little. Someone might get lucky, $260 for 3.84TB is still decent.The last 3 drives this seller has sold have sold for $264, $302, $262.
Yep, definitely still decent for the goods. Super cool you landed an 8TB. Those 15TB ones make my mouth water until I see the price, lol.They also started at considerably higher, so I was surprised to see that one start for so little. Someone might get lucky, $260 for 3.84TB is still decent.
Of course only reason I'm not going for it is because I managed to get my hands on a 7.68 SAS3.

Where/when?Scored 7 of the 7.68TB Micron 5100's for ~ $400 ea. Drives are a mix of HP OEM and retail Micron's. OEM Microns don't support all the SMART attributes that the retail ones do. Sequential and read performance is great both - large and 4K. But when it comes to write speeds: 4K write is all over the place, especially with the latest firmware. I'd be careful when applying firmware updates - it's not possible to downgrade firmware from the latest releases and also OEM drives don't take kindly to retail firmware. That one looks like an OEM ...
that could be because those are 8k drives...... at least that is what i remember mine reporting in smartmontools....Scored 7 of the 7.68TB Micron 5100's for ~ $400 ea.
