So it seems prices are too high?
Let me know what you think is fair :)


Hi guys,

accumulated a lot of gear this year and wont reasonably use all of it so am looking to sell or trade.

All items are located in Germany, I will ship internationally on request, you pay the bill.
I take Paypal or bank transfer or cash (or trade potentially). Sold here before, happy to provide references, or check me on Ebay


None of the drives includes any additional cables/funtin adapters etc. I have some left that I can spare but they are on top. Please ask if you need one.
Also can provide more details/pictures/data if you're interested, please let me know.


4. Dell H330 - €100 - original FW
Hardly used - still on original FW as I was not sure I'd use it and didn't want to ruin for DELL ppl;)
I should have the FH bracket but until I find it with HH bracket only.

(marked is the EXT HBA, the H330 is at the bottom)

5. Dell PowerEdge 12 Gbps SAS HBA - €100 - original FW (See at Ebay)
Hardly used - still on original FW as I was not sure I'd use it and didn't want to ruin for DELL ppl;)
Only have the FH bracket

Since the 847 has been sold without upgrade the add-ons are available separately. All OBO.
9. Parts for SC847 or 846 or 826

BPN-SAS2-846-EL2 €250
BPN-SAS-846-A €200
BPN-SAS-846-TQ €80


BPN-SAS-826-A €100
BPN-SAS3-EL1 €250

alternative PSUs (920SQ single , 920 Platinum pair ) €100
74L fans for main fan wall (7 fans modded to fit, in addition to the original ones) - €50
Can also supply Mainboard/CPU/HBAs/NVMes if you need a whole system



If any of the prices is unreasonable I am happy to adjust/discuss.


Trade Options:
Most likely only possible in EU due to tax reasons:/
Currently looking for
-Intel S3700 SSDs (400GB)
-Cisco SG350x
-Chieftec Rail set RSR-260
-Supermicro 3.5->2.5 Adapter
-a bunch of MCP-290-00053-0N rail sets
-a single CSE-PT52L rail set (outer alone also possible)
-a few larger SSDs (Sata, >1TB, Enterprise Read is fine for feeding LTO7)


-reminder
Add superfluous E5/E3 boards/CPUs/Chassis


--------------------------
Sold Items:



1. Intel 750 1.2 TB AIC (Sold)
Intel Intel® SSD 750 Series (1.2TB, 1/2 Height PCIe 3.0, 20nm, MLC)

CVCQ5116004W1P2BGN 38,5 TB written, (rated at 70 GB/d => 125TB Total), Warranty: May 16, 2020 => 350€
Not sure why all 750 models have the same endurance rating but I don't think it will fail anytime soon :)
Smart values attached

3. SanDisk Lightning Ultra Gen. II SAS3 12Gbs SSD 200GB (Sold at Ebay)
Those were intended as VSAN Cache layer but never saw much use since I didn't go the HBA ways but chose NVMe instead.
Sandisk specs: SanDisk Lightning Gen II SAS SSD - For maximum performance and bandwidth
This is the write intensive line of SanDisk's Enterprise SSDs so plenty of endurance (25 DWPD Endurance Random Workload, they don't explicitly specify writes [have not found it])
I have 6 of these drives, all lightly used (got them new/sealed), looking for €95ea
Crystal result is with single Port connection, not Dual.
Attached are 4 smart infos, the other 2 drives should be similar but are in another box (not connected); can get them out if you're interested [or will do when I get around to it]

upload_2018-2-26_22-40-8.png
Sold without Intel brackets
Updated to the latest Firmware.

2. Micron P320h 2,5" 350GB (Sold at Ebay)
Bought this a year ago from @whitey - has seen little use since then due to the fact that is not supported in FreeNas. Used it for vsan for a bit but then moved to P3700's. Works fine in ESX, Windows, Linux. See driver support in pdf.

Didn't get current TBW values but this monster has 50PB endurance rating so no worries.
See https://www.micron.com/~/media/documents/products/data-sheet/ssd/p320h_2_5.pdf

Asking €130.
Note:
this is not a NVMe drive per se but works fine with a Funtin adapter or U2 cable

Updated SAS3 drive performance values after measuring direct attached with a faster box.


Edit: Also fixed an Error on the 2 TB drives which had a CDM of the local drive instead of the NVMe passed through one ;)

Old pic left in for reference (p4500_2tb.PNG), see size on C vs E drive

More price reductions - probably the last round for the NVMe drives unless there is a good offer.
