@zeynel: I think it's quite distasteful to use this forum as a way of snagging all the good deals you get tipped about by kind people to resell at higher prices. IMO this goes against the spirit of helping each other out here, but I guess you don't give a damn about that.

Since the LSI Nytro Warpdrive seems to be bootable, I was wondering whether this one is as well or if the FW is preventing it? Sorry if it's been asked already.

Do you per chance work at FusionIO? You seem very well informed.

Weird, I definitely get higher benchmarks with increasing the PCI-E power to 75W on my ioDrive 2 1.2TB. Not much, but noticeable.

Does anyone know where to find latest firmware and drivers for ioDrive 2? Seems there's an issue on the Sandisk link I used before as it keeps denying me access no matter how many accounts I try to create.

Anyone knows anything about the Sc200? Is it a regular SAS2 backplane DAS or can it only be used with a Dell Compellent controller somehow? How are the noise levels and power usage? The pricing and looks of these is quite attractive.

Kind of cheeky ending with "the STH community that is always looking out for each other" as you just bought the whole stock of a nice deal someone else found for you. It's supposed to be a two-way street...

Yeah, it's funny. Got a buy-back offer on those from the seller. Guess they figured out they were selling them too cheaply.

I got one BO from him for $30 just recently, seems he raised his base price after that though.

Yeah, that's sad. Seems some use this forum as a way of making money, hoarding all deals and reselling.

That's why scams like this and nigerian inheritages exist, people letting greed overrule their sensibility.

Well, I guess you could say that about any non-safe configuration really...

Seems like a great deal! Thanks!

Personally I'm very happy seeing SM offering SFP+ instead of much more expensive copper. There's really NO argument for choosing Base-T instead.
