    Radeon Pro WX5100 $105

    I saw these about two months ago for about $80 from one seller but were gone when I decided to but it. Since then I've only seen them around $180 when/if you find them. This was listed today, seller accepted $105 for one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325486210117

    10DWDP Intel S3700 800GB $80

    Prices are falling on these, now around $0.10 per GB, most sellers accept offers. I would grab a couple but I already spend more than I should on SSDs :( https://www.ebay.com/itm/255786511996 https://www.ebay.com/itm/185326544876

    Dell PM1725a 1.6GB firmware 1.2.1

    Got a Dell PM1725a 1.6GB HHHL AIC for $102 in an auction, the seller probably didn't know what he was selling. I had low expectations but it turned out with 100% health and just shy of 10TBW. The firmware it had was 1.0.4, a search on google pointed me to 1.1.3 from Dell, but the installer...

    Bandwidth on AMD 880G+SB850

    This is not enterprise hardware, so maybe won't get much attention. But here I go. I needed to test a lot of SSDs I bought in the last months, my main computer is a laptop and my server has no spare bays, so I unearthed an old computer that has 6 SATA 6Gbps ports to test my disks. The...

    Endurance question

    Yesterday I received 2 960GB SM863 and 2 800GB S3700 from different sellers. All drives have between 4 and 5 years POH and between 1.4 and 1.7 PBW, SMART shows 92-94% health. As I understand the 800GB S3700 should have and endurance of 14TBW and the endurance for the 960GB SM863 should be...

    Supermicro E3 boards and PCI-E power.

    Some time ago I gave a friend a Supermicro X10SLL-F board with CPU and RAM, he used it as a desktop with a low power GPU (Radeon HD6450). He recently installed an nVidia GTX 750Ti that has no additional power connectors and he says when he powered the computer on some traces on the motherboard...

    ICX7150-C12P for ~$145, risky.

    This seller has at least two more ICX7150-C12P for cheap, they look very bad and are sold as "for parts" and in the description it says "No PoE on all ports". I asked the seller about the one that didn't look like a lion chewed it and then spat it out, he said it turned on and seemed to work...

    32GB DDR4-2666 modules for $65.36

    Cheapest 32GB DDR4 UDIMM modules I've seen. Description is wrong, part number indicates non-ECC UDIMM. If they were ECC I would've grabbed 4. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165742346999

    Z400 heatsink mounting base

    I'm looking for a cheap LGA2011 heatsink and found HP Z440 Workstations coolers for cheap, but I wonder if those are compatible with standard LGA2011 mounting base and if they are square or narrow ILM. Can someone give me some light here?

    HP SFP+ 10G network cards

    I want to fool around with 10G networking, so I've been looking for cheap 10G adapters with the lowest possible power consumption. So far the cheapest ones I've found were the HP 530SFP+ and HP NC550SFP. I've read some random posts saying these HP adapters are a nightmare outside of HP servers...

    I've been looking for a X10SRL-F or X10SRi-F but prices are too high or those models are nowhere to be found. I found this X10SRH-CF one and the seller accepted $200 offer. I currently have a X9SRL-F with E5-2650v2 and wanted to upgrade to a Ryzen + Asrock board but RAM prices for DDR4 ECC...

    CloudSpeed ECO 960GB disconnecting

    Some time ago I got a good deal on a few CloudSpeed Eco 960GB drives. My intention was to use them as secondary storage in some home systems and as external storage using a USB enclosure. I tried copying around 80GB from one computer to the other and after a while the drive just disconnects...
