That would be good
. Not sure if you're building a free Website or we would have to pay for it though.When I'll get some Time I also plan on doing some eBay Browse API (like @ca3y6) using Python & setup auto monitoring with a Docker Container or something. Free Time is never enough though
.30DWPD on 0.4TB, that's roughly equivalent to 3DWPD on a 3.2TB drives, but for $450 and with 10 times the power consumption. You can find that for a third of the price (that's an IBM model, so bad example, but you can find 3.2TB SAS drives in that price range): Pardon Our Interruption... Or this Pardon Our Interruption...
that is the listing. once re-listed, deleted, and now correct as the seller originaly wanted.
Well, I did Websites and Databases in the Past. Depends what you need to do with it really. When I reached a MySQL Database in big Size, Things started going very wrong.
If you only do API Queries & serve the response as REST API as well, it should be pretty lightweight.
Query eBay, cache Result (I'd just do a JSON Dump from Python), or you could also use Redis / Valkey (I prefer Valkey for Caching).
Given you don't have many Resources, I'd just do the JSON Dump & Load, I wouldn't even think about using PostgreSQL or Valkey with so little Resources TBH. If you use Python, maybe
diskcache would be good for you though (I researched it a bit, but didn't make any Implementation [yet]).I'd probably split the App into:
- Crawler (Querying eBay API & save Results)
- Server (serve cached Data via API)
If you want to handle even more Responses (but pretty sure this is only needed once you reach several hundred-thousands Queries per Second), you might even directly cache the full REST API Path e.g.
/my/search/criteria or whatever as a Folder Structure. Then you don't even need to do real-time Processing, you just need to serve Static Files.Each its own Strengths and Weaknesses of course.
not a deal for you ? too bad...Sure, but at that Price he can keep it
that is the price. this ssd was launched end of 2021 for $900usd(1 pcs)
seller accepts offers, try $17 each for 24 peaces...I think a deal for that capacity is around 100 USD
Lot of 5 E1.S 3.84TB drives, $120 each Lot of 5 Mixed Brand Model 3840GB NVMe SSD Solid State Drive | eBay
Does it? I don’t really speak german and sent that quickly from my mobile.
He meant the Consumer SSD mentioned by @Wasmachineman_NL:
Code:
SSDs like 970 Evo Pluses, 990 Pros etcRight now I am trying to move a VM full of Podman (Docker-like) Containers. Needless to say that is quite a huge write-amplification Workload including a lot of PostgreSQL Database (600 GB of TimescaleDB, similar story though).
Try to copy more than 10GB of Files in one "Burst" on a Consumer Drive like my Crucial MX500 1TB. Good luck when the DRAM (or SLC Cache for NVMe Drives) runs out.
Currently moving to a System with a Root Pool based on a Striped Mirror with 2 x Samsung PM963a and 2 x Micron 5200 ECO (crossed-brands, i.e. a Samsung and a Micron in each VDEV).
Already doing a System Update with
apt dist-upgrade feels like Day and Night.I look at > 30% IOWAIT with consumer SSDs. And sometimes even opening (or writing to) a File with
nano takes 30 Seconds.EDIT 1: Modified the Part in Bold to avoid misunderstandings.

Offered 125EUR each and was acceptedWell it looks like somebody decided to buy it
An actual deal for a high DWPD enterprise NVMe in the 3.8TB range and M.2 format is $200-300.I think a deal for that capacity is around 100 USD
Anything less than $200 is likely suspect in some way, while more than $300 isn't a deal
3.84TB SATA $30 https://www.ebay.com/itm/226771378776
That's an extremely high Price compared to what I'm able to get on the 2nd Hand market (besides NOT having to add another 25% VAT on top of it).
It might be a good Price for a "new" Drive, but in absolute Terms it's not. Not even sure how much Warranty you'd get for it.
You might as well go for something Bigger "new" at the same Price & NVMe Speed.
NO endorsement for the Seller, just another Drive that was shown automatically below your linked Listing (it's "Open Box" though):
In U.2 I like them under $200 but it's sometimes a couple months between deals like that, since the supply is limited and comes in bursts, and if you're looking for the add in card form factor those are usually more expensive.
Yeah the U.2 ones seem to go for about $200ish. I picked up a couple PCIE-4X's for $150 each recently, I have a few of the 375GB U.2's and if you wanted something smaller I would make a good deal on them.
