Seem like a square enough deal? I thought about this for a bit and it didn't seem too crazy but you all let me know...maybe I am outta my mind. I realized that for vSAN and the AFA (all SSD config) I am pursuing that my 400gb DC s3700 might be a bit overkill for cache tier drive w/ the smaller all-flash-array data set I am targeting.

Anyone interested or have some options involving s3700/s3500 drives in the 100-200 gb range let me know please. I also have a DC s3500 240 GB drive that I could barter with.

End-state goal is consistency w/ my cache tier drives (all same capacity and type drive) preferably 3700's but i could maybe settle for 3500's, was hoping to use larger 3500's for capacity tier).

So you want two 100GB S3700 drives for your one S3700 400GB drive? If so happy to trade.

Hi Patrick, it may have been very early this morning and my mind wasn't working quite right, I guess OEM (and we all know we didn't get these drives at that) 400gb s3700's are close to 700-800 (I got mine for I think $360). I don't wanna give away that farm but 100GB s3700's are arnd $175 each new, seem to be hard to find used at decent deals though unless you really HUNT/are patient, probably not a bad deal but not to swell either, really could use two 200 GB s3700's but that's not likely a fair deal either swaying on my my side then. Hmmm...anyway we could even this up a bit, I could throw in an Intel 10GbE XF SR server adapter and my 400 gb s3700 if you might have two 200 GB s3700 drives and find that a pallatable deal? Hell I could even go 3x 100gb dc s3700 for my 400 GB dc s3700 and I'll throw in that 10G adapter as well. Three options, the latter two are best for me but let me know if you think that is a square/fair deal or not buddy. If not I will likely still consider your previous generous offer.

Thanks and take care.
