Yes, that's correct.

I have two of some version of these and paid $65 each. Good price here regardless of diagnostics or whatever.

I took a chance on them today for two 6TB HGST drives that they say are "recertified." I doubt that, but I bet I will still get drives that are fine. I will qualify them for a week or two to make sure they're not garbage. If anyone has a good, simple qualification routine that exercises...

I use an R700 in standalone for home use. It is rock solid and I'd highly recommend it. I think I paid $400 on eBay a few years back.

Nice deal, I bought 4. Amex has a deal if you view your offers in your account to get 30 off 300. Makes the deal even better: $13.75 per TB plus tax.

I went up to $17 ea. For qty 2 and they declined. Oh well.

They turned down $15 ea. now on a qty of 2. Tried $15.75 and they're sitting on it.

Tried $14 and it was auto-declined. Seems that $15 is the lowest possible. EDIT: For qty of 2.

Thanks for checking! Gonna take a chance on it.

Nice post, thanks. Anyone know if these work in Supermicro X10 motherboards without the power cable?

Damn, schooled on my own AP...

If you look at the bottom of the 3rd page, it says, "Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with 802.3af/at PoE." My understanding is that it can do a lower performance mode to be compatible with old switches (802.3af mode). I want high performance.

Anyone know how to get 802.3at working on the ICX-6450-48P? When I run "show inline power" I see that my Ruckus R700 WiFi Access Point is running in 802.3af mode, not 802.3at mode. It's definitely capable of 802.3at, but can fallback to 802.3af. I want it running at 802.3at. There are no...

Does anyone know why Brocade offers two different firmware images on these switches? I understand that one is layer 3 and one is layer 2, but why did this require two firmware images? If the layer 3 image includes all the layer 2 stuff, what's the purpose of the layer 2 image?

Updating my ICX 6450 to the latest firmware caused the idle fans to quiet WAY down. Seemed like the old stuff was from maybe 2012 - ugh. Prior to updating, the fans would be full speed when booting, then quiet down but still be audible from behind a closed closet door. After updating, it's...
