    Closed [W] [USA-PA] one or two 2tb sata HDD and 2x8gb DDR3 udimm for lga1150 xeom

    I have some 2tb Hitachi drives that I could sell you. I'm in MD so we could do an in person to avoid shipping as well. How's $30 each sound?

    This seller instantly accepted my offer for 1 of these at $350 so may even accept lower. Be advised that while the drive I received was essentially 100% write health (less than 30TB written while rated for 24PB) and about 4 months of power on hours, it did have 23 UDMA CRC errors that the seller...

    SAS Expander

    Hey guys, I'm in the process of upgrading my server (mostly runs PLEX & additional related services). I just picked up an LSI 9211 8i HBA which is running the 8 drives I currently have perfectly. I have it all in a coolermaster trooper case and don't plan to replace it (so no backplane with...
