    EXPIRED Lenovo 530-8i + cables $33

    For anyone looking at the 9400's purely for SAS, as long as you dont need more than 60 drives, this is the way to go! If looking to use the tri-mode features though, I'd probably hold out a biiiit longer for another option - mostly as these only support 2 nvme devices, and can usually do that...

    EXPIRED Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB 80 USD

    Sure, but then you have the problem of discoverability, as well as the need to not only own a business (with all that entails - highly doubt someone is going to agree to pay "some random dude running this in their basement" 10k a year, let alone 90+), but to own a business which already has the...

    EXPIRED Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB 80 USD

    For my part, I'm more specifically how one would possibly go about doing this at the non-amazon/non-google scale necessary for it to be feasible for us - is there a distributed project out there which allows users to join a pool or something of the sort that pays anything in the same ballpark...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    Not really in the same ballpark IMO, though the pricing's already been mentioned above. The pricing for the engenius unit will almost certainly come down as well; same thing happened with the ECW336, where they were asking something like 700 friggin bucks for the thing initially, they realized...

    EXPIRED Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB 80 USD

    That kind of thing is INFURIATING. Hope you took a hefty deposit!

    Super cheap LSI SAS3 controller

    Fits fine - same PCB I think actually.

    EXPIRED Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB 80 USD

    Any resources you might be able to point me to on this one? Not super familiar with clickhouse, but at least doesn't *seem* like a distributed blockchain type thing that'd immediately run me off

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    Yup, same - all my switches have the older prefix, (as to the wifi5 units I had installed at parents/in-laws), but anything wifi6 or newer seems to be getting 96 here as well: EDIT: I don't know when the fw started getting posted to the EU site, but it wasn't there ~2-3 months ago - probably...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    Unifi's not as fast as Engenius, nor can it handle as many connected devices per AP, and has the best roaming I've ever experienced personally (aruba, unifi, cisco, etc), though with close to equivalent coverage. Unifi has the better management UI, though engenius is slowly starting to catch up...

    Solarflare X2522-10G Low Profile Dual 10Gb SFP+ Network Card ~ $75 + $25 shipping - GBP 59.99

    Out of curiousity, what can these cards do that something like the x700/500 Intels or connect-x Mellanox cards might be missing? I've been a fan of Chelsio's cards myself, but that's mostly as the configuration tools all seemed to fall logically in hand any time I needed to do something with em...

    Quantum FC LTO5 Drive - $26 Used Untested

    Any time I see "untested", my mind always defaults to "I tested it, it failed, but I this sounds better" - but with it being FC, maaaaaybe not?

    32GB DDR4 2666 ECC RDIMMs - $22

    I totally wasnt clear there - I more meant "before it hit ewaste level pricing" (where no one wants to buy it regularly any longer). Basically I think there's a curve it mostly is going to follow, but certainly it'll eventually fall off a cliff once there's no more demand for it.

    32GB DDR4 2666 ECC RDIMMs - $22

    I'm guessing it'll follow sort of the same cycle as DDR3 - it bottomed out around $0.50/GB for 32GB sticks as well, best as I recall at least. Sure, you could occasionally find a super-sale, but the best I regularly found was about there I think, if I'm remembering right?

    32GB DDR4 2666 ECC RDIMMs - $22

    I sent an offer for 4 at $22 each, comes out to $0.69/GB for 32GB RDIMMs, seemed like a pretty dang good deal to me! Anyone with anything from Broadwell (2400) up to Skylake (2666), I've not seen a better deal of late myself at least. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266386184388 They're marked as...

    Pfsense box for cheap $72

    This is the way to go IMO - they've a lot more horsepower than their 4 cores would have you believe, outperforms the 8 core rangeley CPU (which was used in TONS of network gear from various vendors for years) in just about every way, and at roughly half the power usage to boot!

    EXPIRED 3.84TB SATA SSD 120 USD

    Hotspare seems unlikely with so little power on time... possibly a cold, but more likely it was simply never configured within whatever server it was in, maybe part of some project that whatever company never got to implementing? Any number of possibilities, but in any case, fantastic deal for ya!

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    I'd just shoot a note to engenius - they've sent me replacements before, I didn't even have to pay shipping if I remember right. Worth a shot!

    EXPIRED 3.84TB SATA SSD 120 USD

    Ever hear back on this? I've got a handful of 1TB PM863's that are getting a bit long in the tooth, and these seem like a no brainer at this price... as long as they've at least 50% of their life left anyway :D

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    There's the skykey, though that's just ezM on a small SBC. The fitcontroller though, it gives you a local version of their cloud management interface, as I understand it, which is actually pretty slick (it's what I use day to day myself). If I were looking for a local management UI personally...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    Wasnt that available under the maintenance section...? Or maybe thats only from the switch interface (where one of their neutron switches acts as a controller for APs), I can't remember come to think of it... In either case though (even if there was a UI way to do it), one still wouldn't be far...
