Enterprise SSD "small deals"

[jhartbarger]

What’s a good price for Optane P4800X 750GB?

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.

It says "Free Shipping" to the US. Just use JetCarrier . Pay something like 20-30 EUR and AVOID import Fees (you just pay VAT, no extra Fees).

Im sure its completely by coincidence that JetCarrier moved to a state without sales tax.

Indeed, the pair I managed to grab were just cancelled due to a listing error. Dang

At least they are not pretending that you requested to cancel the order which happened to me a few times when a seller mis priced an item. Errors happen, it’s ok for a seller to cancel an order, but no need to lie to the users or bullshit them.

I mean, they claimed the error was that the drives are not in stock, they didn't suggest the price was a mistake, but at least they didn't mess around.

I was actually talking about the Danish Customs Processing Fee (approx. 25 EUR) if you were to import Directly through Postnord / UPS / Fedex / etc.

That SOUNDS exactly like they are messing around and lying. Why would they put up a listing for Drives that are not available ???

Jetcarrier as I said before.

It's gone (I'm NOT the one that bought them though).

 

[whoknew123]

Well, I haven’t had any luck, YET, but I do want to thank yall for posting the deals! I’ll get lucky at some point, hopefully….

I gotta admit, 3.4TB (or hopefully larger) SAS SSDs have been tempting and I have spare MATX and FATX boards laying around just needing a SAS controller and a cheap QSFP NIC.

Actually by asking google, here is the explanation I was given:

A seller might falsely claim a buyer requested cancellation to avoid a transaction defect on their eBay seller account. If a seller cancels an order, it can negatively impact their seller performance, potentially leading to a defect. By claiming the buyer requested the cancellation, the seller can avoid this defect.

Here's why sellers do this:
Avoiding Transaction Defects:
eBay penalizes sellers with defects on their accounts for cancellations, especially for reasons like "out of stock" or "damaged".

Preserving Seller Reputation:
A high number of defects can negatively affect a seller's standing, potentially impacting their visibility in search results and overall sales.

Avoiding Refunds:
In some cases, sellers might cancel because they've made a mistake in pricing or listing and don't want to sell at the agreed-upon price. By falsely claiming buyer cancellation, they avoid the hassle of a refund.

How buyers can respond:

Contact eBay Customer Service:
If a buyer suspects a seller is falsely claiming cancellation, they can contact eBay and explain the situation.

Document Everything:
Keep records of messages, order details, and any other relevant information.

Consider the Impact:
If the seller's actions are a clear violation of eBay's policies, buyers can report them.

Actually by asking google, here is the explanation I was given:

They didn't claim that the Buyer Canceled according to @nexox Message though. Probably they just claimed that the Drive was sold off eBay on another Platform even if not true.

Claiming that the Buyer Canceled when that's clearly not the Case warrants an immediate Reporting .

They are but they consume a LOT of power.

Agree. To me they only make sense if either you need the higher performance but don't have the PCIe lanes to go U.2; or you need drives larger than 7.64TB (max size of SATA enterprise SSDs).
