LOL @ eBay for this one - eBay still shows as "1 available" while everything is gone. I guess it went quite fast, given its decent price for SATA in UK
I see. Couldn't figure that out from the sold listing. Yeah reasonable pricing irrespective. That really helps my FOMO
Thanks for posting this. It's such a great deal in the current market that, although I'm not from the UK, I went so far as attempting to order all 7x units at the Buy It Now price in the vague hope a postage quote could be organised after the fact. eBay naturally wouldn't let me go though the checkout though.
Afterward I tried reaching out to the seller, who also responded immediately(!) and confirmed they were looking into it; which was very much appreciated on my part, but I knew that unless they had also pulled the listing, those were gonna sell through in a flash.
It sucks to miss out on this one due to geography (7x 3.84TiB drives would have been exactly the perfect number for my needs and my new/empty NAS chassis) but I got into this hobby well after the gravy train on decommissioned hyperscaler gear seems to have ended, so it's also just nice and kinda reassuring to see that good deals on SATA drives can still appear occasionally.
Bought two 3.84TB S4520's from this seller for £200 each, received with 98 and 100% health. Right now there's four remaining, and they are open to offers. There is a cheaper option (£185) from the same seller with 57 - 62% health remaining.
I don’t think this one has been posted. Mostly for our British friends. 3x available at the time of posting. £150

Mm.. It’s the sad truth now that we might have to adjust up. I wouldn’t call £150 a great deal now either but it’s not terrible at least.. 
I was going to upgrade a few of my SAS SSDs to U.2s but at current pricing it feels like SAS will keep being the decent choice for some time. Sad, as U.2s were almost at the same price a couple of months ago.

I managed to snag one, I have bought from this seller before and had no issues
