    EU WTB: 14x Intel or Micron 3.84 TB SATA SSDs

    As per title. Looking for two bundles of 3.84TB SATA SSDs. One bundle of 8x and another bundle of 6x. Drives in a bundle must be the same manufactuer/model. If you have an extra drive for each bundle I can buy as a spare, even better. Micron or Intel only. I'm located in Europe, but will...

    PM863 FW File

    The question if someone has come across the firmware files is still valid, and worth asking. While a lot of us are hobbyists, a lot of us also work for vendors, suppliers, and distirbutors as our day jobs, and have access to things like these elusive firmware files that are not distributed...

    Shipito.com I use them all the time for both high value (10K+) and large (full header-back car exhaust) and have had no issues.

    3.5" to 2.5" adapter $3

    With regard to Dell servers, they're shaped this way for a reason, to keep pressures and flow as designed when a normal 3.5" HDD the larger caddy is designed for is used. With newer servers with features like Multi-Vector cooling, this is even more important. These days it's not always about...

    Lukewarm - Micron 5100 Eco 3.84TB $399.75 @ Mac Sales

    Bulk storage = Exactly my use case :) I have a bunch of Dell branded 1.92 863a drives I’m happy with, I like that Samsung owns all the silicon and software in one package. That said, Micron make some great kit (I love Crucial for server memory!) and these are a lot cheaper than the Samsungs...

    Toshiba PM5-R 15.36TB SAS SSDs, 16/32/64/128GB DDR4 RAM

    Curious, do the Toshibas have any (useable) warranty on them?

    Lukewarm - Micron 5100 Eco 3.84TB $399.75 @ Mac Sales

    Thanks, I steered clear of the 5210 due to the much lower write speed and iirc the endurance wasn't that great either. I should say I'm looking for something comparable to the 5200 Eco...

    Lukewarm - Micron 5100 Eco 3.84TB $399.75 @ Mac Sales

    I managed to grab 4, and just sold some other gear and went to get another 4, and they're sold out! Does anyone know where I could get 4 more to complete my array? Or a source for 8x 4TB SATA SSDs around the same-ish price? I checked the usual sources, eBay, CL, other shopping sites but came...
