    EXPIRED HUH728080AL5200: $119.95

    Any seller that states you can get a drive with health in the low 90's is to be avoided. You will be RMAing some of these drives its not if its when.

    He is correct in most cases you will plot more staggering parallel plots using multiple NVME devices.

    Do you have dates by chance. My current pending order is from 5/18 and ETA has been moved back a few times already.

    If your ordering from shopBLT you might as well send Santa Claus an order. Both have about as good as a track record of delivering. You will get endless emails stating your *updated* ETA to their "warehouse". At least they don't charge your card like B&H and keep your money in limbo.

    Yes now people will be buying expensive RAM. LOL From my testing does not seem worth running out to buy ram for this plotter. The decrease in speed even on raid0 SAS or NVME is too good.

    I was already plotting 250/day without this new plotter. Your available disk space will always be the bottleneck

    A bunch of these guys basically got boxed out of the ecosystem due to the increase in demand for these drives. They use to be able to get get ridiculous deals from the larger scrap companies for decent sized orders(in the 100's). Most of them are no longer really able to get a hold of what...
