I get access denied to all the pages...geo IP blocking?

EDIT1: from Norway.

EDIT2: also tried from an IP in a different EU country, same result:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "SEAGATE 2TB ENT CAP 2.5IN HDD (BSTK) - ST2000NX0273-BSTK - Z - CDW Internal Use/Service Pts - CDW.com" on this server.
Reference #18.cdf31502.1534177781.efb8383

EDIT3: obviously, not all EU countries are blocked, e.g Germany.
That's super-strange. Try going to the main site, www.cdw.com. Does that work?

@Samir i did try that too, when i got Access Denied to the URIs you posted.
@BackupProphet if it is, then it's strange that i got access from a German IP.

Other European users, test from your country to see if CDW blocks your country too.

Oh wow I see now, it's only 2.5" amazing deal! too bad it's only one. Also if you build a RAID from these drives, why would you instead of 3.5" or 2.5" SSDs?

Each outlet item is qty 1 and has its own part number, but you can order all of them that I've listed if they're still in stock. I'm not sure what you're asking about using them in a RAID.

at the top it says SAS 12GBps
then towards the bottom it says Serial Attached SCSI 3

whats the difference?

Also, is this a new HDD or a used one or refurbished?

Firstly, these are all gone as they no longer show in stock. Outlet items don't come back into stock since they're not like regular inventory items.

According to the following spec sheet, it's a 12GBps drive:

Outlet items are typically open box or returns, but are not considered used since they have full warranty and CDW return policies. I've bought a lot of stuff from the outlet and most of it is as good as new.
