I believe its Anna's archive that is making storage prices increase like crazy. It's 1PB of data to train your own LLM.
Interesting theory.
If you're shooting for that kind of scale, and are doing mostly "write once read many", wouldn't it be much better to go with much larger QLC NVME devices?
I see used 60TB drives are 5-10k these days. It's still too pricey for me, but maybe not for these use cases since the greater throughput and density would be worth it...
This is shady. Issue with buyers shipping address is a non fault ebay order cancellation get out. The correct one should have been "Error in listing" / " Not in stock" or something else which goes down as Fault against the seller. I get why they did it that way but its not the way they are supposed to do it.
Optical disks? Yes I still back things up to optical, up to 50GB Bluray, I haven't had a successful 100GB burn in a long time and not willing to buy the disks to just throw them in the trash. 25 and 50 have been reliable.
LTO is making a comeback in popularity too, wish the systems were cheaper.

I would often report them for this, but ebay makes it hard to report this kind of action these days. eBay actually seems to like it if you do this, because higher price is a bigger percentage if it sells.
I looked around for a minute, didn't find anything, the chatbot would help me report buyer fraud but refused to acknowledge anything I asked about sellers.
Chatbots are AI garbage these days (not that they were better earlier). I just type "operator" and/or "human" and i seem to get to talk to a human (or maybe a more intelligent bot ;-D).
I don't think eBay has even gotten theirs backed by an LLM (though eBay management could easily take a full, legit AGI and mess it up so hard it's barely an improvement over Clippy,) it seems like just a handful of pre-programmed responses to a few keywords.
Well... if having $$ locked up for a few weeks until you can claw it back is an acceptable worst case, that's a nice price! Hard pass for me though.
I'm 99% sure this is a scam. Looks identical to a bunch of similar scams I've seen.
Don't feed these guys. They will grow and take over eBay even faster...

If you watch eBay sometimes you get super lucky - I got an LTO-8 drive that was brand new for 700! With 70$ 12TB tapes, and like 300$+ 12TB HDDs, I've broken even on the cost per gb after like 5 tapes - with the best prices per GB it's closer to like 10 tapes, but still, really nice if you can get a drive for cheap.
If anyone here is feeling brave -
this looks like it might be an Intel EDSFF E1L "ruler" SSD, approximately 6.14TB *raw* capacity - but it has no heatsinks which suggests it's either undergone some failed repair or is some engineering unit perhaps.
I tried with a lowball offer of 180CAD which was rejected with no counter.
I don't know if this is a great idea at higher prices. Others might be more brave though
