    LSI 9300-16i $129 obo

    That list really only has to do with what I said above - booting off of those drives. If you're not booting off of them, then you don't need to worry about it at all. Aside from that, you don't really need a 12Gbps SAS card for 3.5" SAS drives, even if their interface is 12Gbps. They won't even...

    LSI 9300-16i $129 obo

    Could you elaborate what you mean by "this card should do 4k sectors"? All 9200 series cards are 4k compatible, as far as I'm aware. The only difference is that some are unable to boot off of 4k sector drives, which is generally irrelevant for most people.

    Today only $399: XPG SX8100 Series: 4TB PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280, 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive

    ADATA/XPG have historically bait and switched SSD specifications/performance in the past, not sure if it applies to this drive. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/adata-and-other-ssd-makers-swapping-parts

    Micron 5200 Eco 3.84TB drives, $310 or less!

    They are OK, but keep in mind they are SATA, so ultimately nothing special. Worth it for game storage if you need a lot of that.

    [US] Funtin PCIe NVMe SSD Adapter $19.99 (new)

    This is functionally the same for $7 more with Amazon free returns. I use Dlinker stuff all the time with no issues. NVMe adapters are straight passthrough anyway. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YKQ2C93

    HGST He8 Ultrastar 8TB HUH728080AL5200 $82

    I've worked with them on my website in the past before. This is their grand reopening sale after suffering a horrible house fire. It's just a 2 man team handling all operations right now. They have been absolutely inundated with orders the past 2 weeks due to the low prices. If you have...

    Bitdeals does not sell on ebay, it's pretty unlikely they are from the same lot.

    1U server with space for 12 - 3.5" hard drives (+ 1- 2.5" hd) via eBay

    I have been recommending this for quite some time now, over a year. Generally I tell people to remove it from the case, as it's not super worth using IMO. https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-4-1-supplemental-deals/2187

    Two PCIe SSDs (3.2TB & 1.6TB)

    To be clear, the 1.6TB is OK, but I think the 3.2TB is a really good deal.

    Two PCIe SSDs (3.2TB & 1.6TB)

    Hey everyone, this was a deal I worked out with the seller for our community over at serverbuilds.net. We have a huge (and growing) discord if anyone is into that sort of thing. I didn't want to post here as I didn't want to break any rules.
