If anyone can pick up by tomorrow, TheServerGuy and I are having trouble getting shipment coordinated by then. Shoot me an offer, just need to get these out of the DC, and would prefer to get these to an STHer rather than a local used gear megarecycler.
Final (not really, as it turns out) price drop, $1,800 for all, then dumping these things on eBay. $600/ea for tested 84-bay JBODs, plus one that's at least a solid parts donor and might work fine with one controller active :)
***Gone***
Asking $1,000 for all. I can't remember the last time I listed something on a forum for sale, so I'll consider any reasonable payment type :)
Local pickup in Seattle (Tukwila, technically a Seattle address)
You'll need a large vehicle - these things are 36" long, and super heavy...
Interesting, thanks! BIOS is upgraded, and cabling looks OK (but it is a bit hairy).
I'm going to wait for our mezzanine SAS2008 cards and see how that goes, then will dig into this further if necessary. Thanks again for the info dump!
Did a bit more digging. I think this may be due to my configurable SAS backplane, which does not allow "straight" SATA usage. I need both PCIe slots, so I'm grabbing a few SAS 2008 mezzanine cards to test...
Does this sound sane?
Strangely, booting into Ubuntu gives COMRESET errors... It sees _something_ on AHCI (maybe), but maybe ghosts, as even when only a few drives are connected it fails on ata1-4.
Have tried a variety of drives / caddies across both nodes.
