Not a chance in hell. But that is a good looking chassis.
Sun used to make great hardware, I hope Oracle is keeping that tradition up.
p.s. This is funny. The moment that chassis got posted here...sudddenly > 100 people have viewed it in the past 24 hours! I mean, it's not like it's a super great deal or anything, and given its Oracle hardware, the BIOS etc will have all sorts of shenanigans.
The STH effect is in full force on that listing!
Tread carefully with egoodssupply
I picked up 44 of the 3.84tb SSD and check with the seller to make they was 512byte, they said yes.
Round 1 was 44x drive
23x of them was 520 byte
14x showed failed in our dell PREC cards
7x was good 512 byte disks
Round 2 was 37 drives to replace the 520 byte and failed drives
1x of them was 520 byte
8x showed failed in our dell PREC cards
28x was good 512byte
For the 9x that did not work from the 2nd round I have pending question about a refund.

Not necessary IMHO.
It's really a HyperV related Issue. Otherwise your 64GB Virtual Disk on the Inside turns into a 128-192 GB File on the Host on HyperV.
You really do NOT have such Issues with KVM.
So I mean theoretically, if someone just really wanted that case in their rack, with use case being #1 it’s sexy #2 power on once or twice a week for backups, what issues might they run into? Assuming that person had no plans to modify hardware or firmware.Not a chance in hell. But that is a good looking chassis.

Asking for a friend.
Unsure if I already mentioned it already but there is this (relisted from the one I previously bought, negotiated from 150 USD / Piece down to 100 USD / Piece, for 2 x Pieces):
Lenovo TOSHIBA 3.84TB SSD 2.5 U.2 NVMe KCM5DRUG3T84 (78% & 79%) Health - Open to Offers
Lenovo TOSHIBA 3.84TB SSD 2.5 U.2 NVMe KCM5DRUG3T84 (78% & 79%) Health - Open to Offers
DELL INTEL S4500 SSDSC2KB038T7R 03RRN8 Solid State Drive 3.84TB 2.5" SATA 41%+
Submitted an offer for 10 @ 50 each. Seller countered with 115 each. Not for me but might benefit others.

That SATA isn't so bad actually
.I just grabbed 4 of these INTEL DC P4511 2TB (no more left, sorry
), 75 USD negotiated down to 60 USD / Piece for 2TB M.2 22110:Just to say that it might be worth watching this Seller, some of their Offer are quite good (although I could NOT negotiate THAT much on this one, I tried and got autorejected for 40-45-50-55 then finally on the last one I got accepted at 60 USD).
Lower Power Consumption and works with your onboard SATA Controller, thus no need for an extra PCIe HBA, unless your Server Motherboard has an onboard already SAS HBA Controller (e.g. LSI 3108).
Seller is likely to accept 115. That's why I posted.
If that is not good enough then I apologize for polluting the thread and will take care next time
I offered 100 USD / Piece for 2 Pieces for the SATA (2nd Link), seller Countered with 130 USD / Piece for 2 Pieces.
A bit too much for my liking I think I'll pass on this
.EDIT 1: for those interesteed, there is an older SATA Model (PM863) at the same List Price of 150 USD:
Note (for Firmware Updates Availability): it's -0003 vs the -0005 of the other Drive, so read the Topic about SED vs non-SED (in no particular Order: I always forget which is which)
Well, at this point the only thing I "need" is a 2nd box to act as a secondary backup for my small amount of important data on unraid. Maybe proxmox running a TrueNAS VM for funsies since I haven't used it yet, or just a 2nd unraid server.
Which that X7-2L is about 1 billion percent overkill for. All I'd "need" to do is toss some hdd's in it. Do you know of any chassis similar in styling that wouldn't be such a power hog?
uhh...that is a very good looking chassis...but...honestly...who cares? It's gonna sit in a rack somewhere in a corner. Just get whatever is workable for you. These custom servers use very proprietary parts, and are quite difficult to mod.
That may have been true...20 years ago. I don't use staggered spin up and been running 24x HGST SAS HDDs off of a HP 460w PSU...for years. Yes, your power supply should be high quality, but you don't need to huge size it just because of HDDs.
I can agree with that. Those are the reasons I modded my Chenbro chassis to use HP PSUs. The Chenbro PSUs were junk and jet noise loud. Other than Supermicro SQ PSUs, most Supermicro PSUs are also not very efficient (due to their size/rating) and not very quiet.
The HP PSUs are whisper quiet and way more efficient than Supermicro PSUs, even though both are "platinum" rated.
3.5”
That‘s why I said, need a high quality PSU, but not necessarily oversized. Most high quality PSUs will sustain ~120% of their load for a small amount of time, but even then, I’ve yet to see an HDD consume over 20w at startup.
For 24x HDDs, that’s still just 480w.
You should really start writing in a clear Way. I don't enjoy having to do Reverse Engineering on a Permanent basis.
265 of what "these" ? SAS or SATA ? Got a Link ?
None of "these" were either in this Thread or a dedicated Thread surely not for 265 Pieces ...

By the Way, do you know if these Drives support ASPM in order to let the CPU "sleep" & achieve Package C-States of PC6 or better (PC8, etc) in order to save something on Power Consumption Figures ?
Many Devices unfortunately don't support ASPM and then the CPU is stuck at Package C-State PC2 or at best PC3 ...
I am not aware of anything cheaper. But I only used those direct adapters in one case where I had a U.3 only drive. I usually use cables to a backplane or to the drive directly, but that's a tad more expensive.
Not that I'm going to do anything like this now, 'cuz I've got too many projects going ATM. BUT, I can see myself wanting/needing to know about this in the future, so best to ask while its fresh:I can agree with that. Those are the reasons I modded my Chenbro chassis to use HP PSUs. The Chenbro PSUs were junk and jet noise loud. Other than Supermicro SQ PSUs, most Supermicro PSUs are also not very efficient (due to their size/rating) and not very quiet.
The HP PSUs are whisper quiet and way more efficient than Supermicro PSUs, even though both are "platinum" rated.
Which model PSUs are those (I can't make out much detail in the photos)? Are those HP PDBs? Do you maybe have the model on those as well?
Thanks for any info or insights. Sorry to everyone for taking the thread off on a tangent.
I have all of those details. Send me a message when you wanna tackle something like this and we'll talk.
Edit: These were modded like this...oh...8 years ago or so I think.
