    Toshiba 14TB SAS MG07SCA14TE 512e $80

    SAS drives in general are harder to get to soon down also. I'm probably going to have some storj node hosting on spare capacity so they tends to keep the drives busy all the time anyway

    WD HDD Ultrastar DC HC520 HUH721212AL4205 12TB 3.5" SAS $76.89

    In the medium old days (15-20 years ago) the market was bifurcated. enterprise drives for high IOPS were 2.5" and running at 10k or 15k RPM screamers and often used SAS interface. Consumer drives were SATA, 3.5", and 5400 or 7200rpm. Calling those higher performance drives "SAS" could be a...

    WD HDD Ultrastar DC HC520 HUH721212AL4205 12TB 3.5" SAS $76.89

    I mean... yes but... for me a SATA drive would actually be worth slightly more than SAS. I have never noticed any performance difference between SAS and SATA for spinning rust drives. a SATA drive has the advantage in that I could use it in other places if needed, and more useful from a resale...

    1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

    It was answered in the middle of this megathread, but yes the boards use a lot of power. by a "lot" i mean it's never going to go below 60W usage when idle, no matter what CPU or operating system you use. My pet theory is it's the IPMI or more likely the PLX PCI switch guzzling the energy...

    4TB HGST SAS Hard Drives - $8

    I wouldn't want to buy these drives because my electricity price is expensive. But sometimes you just need a drive you can abuse, and these would be great. I used to have some of these and they were tough. Too bad they're not SATA, it would increase their use cases.

    12TB 3yr warranty refurbed Seagate for $6.83/TB shipped

    your point is true on $ per TB, but conversely, once you pass a certain number of drives (that number is generally 'whatever will fit in my current chassis') then using the lower density drives becomes more of a chore. Also expensive electricity cost can be a drag, even if it's only like 9W per...

    12TB 3yr warranty refurbed Seagate for $6.83/TB shipped

    Well, if they wipe the smart they can claim it's 'refurbished' and charge more. There is also a tiny chance that some data sanitation regimes would require wiping smart data, but I doubt it? But I agree with you. If it's really used I'd rather get the original stats. And some (many?) users...
