Would this work for a SA120 enclosure? First time user of SAS SSDs here and I was thinking of grabbing a few of those if the seller can send to Europe without the GSP... any documentation online explaining cables, power connectors, etc for this type of SAS disk?

A 26 to 30% increase of the listed price is not noticeable to you? And for those here who had offers at 120 accepted initially it is a 30 to 40% increase, accounting for offers under that price.

Are you affiliated with the seller or just not very good at math?

No offense... but I think I speak for most people here when I say that sellers who rapidly inflate prices after quick sales (especially if they benefited from the forum or hyped it up here) aren't exactly appreciated. This forum is not your/their PR or marketing outlet. If you listed something at X then have the decency to keep it at X after benefiting from the increased influx of buyers thanks to this forum. Duh.

I'm not affiliated with anyone, I am good at math, but considering I paid 500 bucks for for a similar brand new one a few years ago I made a quick post.
Now I will apologize for my not considering your position.

No offense but until people stop griping about prices and stop buying stuff and letting the sellers know why then this ebay rapid inflation stuff will continue.

Please do not assume anything about me in the future,if you like pm me and will gladly give all the personal info plus phone number if you would like to discuss anything, I've been on the planet for many years and have worked in numerous high tech industries.
I have also purchased from people on this.forum and have had phone conversations, and I expect they considered me to be polite and a genuine person

Keyword is "brand new". I have paid about 340 a piece for SM863 SSDs with full lifespan remaining. The seller advertised them as such and the price was stable. I could go on.

I do know someone who contacted the seller before the prices went up and now after... and he was pretty clear about the less than stellar salesmanship there. This was after the seller more or less stopped responding properly. We are building a system for a uni here and already got storage... now it's more of a question if we want one or two to play with them ourselves. But 150 is not competitive when there are good S3710 offers for about the same. Just to name one.

At 130 it was a great deal. At 120 we wanted to buy 10. He sent an offer for 4 right away but couldn't arrange US shipping until recently. There will be better deals.

I understand and have had similar situations, so what I did was watched the seller for a while and anything he had that I would've bought of did from someone else, I sent them an email politely stating that they lost a sale because of price gouging me, or rather trying to, after emails totalling about 2k in them losing sales they got the point.
Now if 10 or 20 people did this it would be an eye opener for sure.

My point is similar to yours about this site having a direct price influence in the increase, it could have the same point on the decrease or remaining stable.

As I said I made a quick post and I made a quick apology for my being short sited on this, as I am usually longer winded. I also agree with you.
