Out of stock already

Wow that was a cheap price. I have a couple of smaller capacity 1633a's and they are really old. And not that fast, speed is slightly inconsitent And kind of power hungry.

But dang it was cheap.
I offered 140 USD each but I guess somebody else bought them immediately :p .

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.

Yeah the threshold I still use to notify myself of a good deal is £32.5/TB, so £125/$165 for a 3.84TB SSD. I might need to change that if this drought continues for a few more months,

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.. :p

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.
