    EU 6x S3700 400GB 130€/piece OBO

    According to the seller these drives are under warranty till Jan 2019. I was tempted to pick them all up but since it is only for my private server/workstation, which has 4x 300GB s3500 right now, I could not justify the expense. Intel DC S3700 Enterprise SSD 400GB SATA 6 Gb/s, Extrem Langlebig
