  • 2.5" 4TB and 2TB non-SMR spinners (Samsung 9mm preferred for 2TB, Seagate 15mm for 4TB)
Curious if anyone including OP, has model numbers for these drives. I've been looking for some too but difficult to find info.

Apologies for delays - more medical logistics have made me miss my planned dropoffs at Fedex and USPS yesterday and today, but I will definitely get there tomorrow.

IO shields acquired, and will now be included with X10 Xeon E3-1200 v3/v4 and Atom C2000 boards!

Thanks to everyone who has responded, and my apologies for taking a few days to respond to some of you in some cases. Thanks for bearing with me while I coordinate care. I used to always reply as I saw message notices, but for now I will need to batch my DM replies - I should be able to reply at least every 2-3 days, hopefully more frequently as care patterns settle in.

Hello all,

I've had lots of fun on the forums and trading parts with many of you for several years, but I've sadly been mostly absent for the last couple of years dealing with some family health issues, which have become worse recently. I set up and completely reworked my home lab several times, but I now I really need to find new homes for a lot of the stuff I won't have time to play with anymore, for both space and cashflow reasons. I am hoping to stay a little more involved in this great community than I have been the last few years, but I will probably never have the same amount of free time as I used to, and need to scale back my sizeable home lab.

TLDR: I am selling off a bunch of my lab stuff to make space and recoup some cash for increasing bills. As you will see, most of my stuff is Supermicro gear oriented towards NAS/Storage, networking, and all in one homelab builds. My prices may not be rock bottom Ebay prices, but I have tested and upgraded firmware for everything unless noted otherwise, and I am offering free assembly and testing of any set of parts you get for me into a working system, so please bear that in mind when reviewing my list here. That said, I will adjust if things are way off market, and I tend to throw in freebies and round down if you get a lot of stuff.

If you are local in the SF Bay area, please come get things - as you might expect, I have been taking the pandemic very seriously, cleaning everything with alcohol, etc. For non-local people, I can ship Fedex Ground (account rates are 25-30% less than standard rates) or USPS Priority Mail at cost, and I'll round down (a few marked items are priced with shipping included). For shipping, I have a limited number of quality 1U-4U Supermicro and other shipper boxes with precut closed cell foam inserts, when I run out of those, I will have to go with local pickup only for any remaining larger items.

I'm linking to my old FS/FT/WTB and free stuff threads for reference (I never got around to setting up a heatware account) but items and prices in those have NOT been cleaned up yet - I have started to move items still available from those here with updated prices, but if you see anything in my older postings you are interested in, just ask, and I'll let you know if it is still available.

Here is what I definitely know I have available right now:

Complete quiet Towers running FreeNAS or Unraid on 16GB flash drive or DOM,
ready for data drives! These are based on an X9SCL (or X9SCM and or -F versions w/ BMC, LMK if you care) board with a LSI SAS2008 controller (for >14 bays choose a second controller or HP SAS2 expander), CPU choice of low power Pentium G620T, i3-2120T (+$20 for Xeon e3-1220L v2 17W TDP, +$30 for Xeon e3-1260L 45W TDP) 8GB ECC unbuffered as 4x 2GB, (+$60 for 16GB as 2x 8GB instead) 80+ PSU.

HDDs:
  • $50 - 4TB WD Red (non-SMR model!) and 7200RPM Seagate and WD
  • $65 - 4TB 3.5" HGST Coolspin low power with lowish hours, fantastic drives!
  • $25 - 2TB 3.5" Seagate and WD enterprise with a bunch of hours, but solidly tested good
  • $60 - 2TB 2.5" 7mm Seagate / Samsung - these are SMR, but fit in newer laptops, will trade for 9mm non-SMR version
Mini / embedded / industrial systems with GPIO, etc.:
  • $40 - Soekris Net 4801-60 256MB in case
  • $60 - Soekris Net 5501-70 512MB in case
  • $60 - Soekris Net 6501-70 2GB in case, but UNTESTED - I have misplaced my serial console kit, hence the low price, I have a few and will give a bulk deal if you take them all

  • $80 - Cubox Pro 2GB version
  • $100 - Cubox i4 Pro
Trades - items I am looking for:
  • Atom C3758 or C3958 motherboard - ideally Supermicro, but I'll consider anything, Mini ITX, Flex ATX, or Micro ATX would all be fine, and I actually prefer more PCIe slots.
  • nVidia Jetson Dev kit (4GB, rev B01 ideally)
  • 2.5" 4TB and 2TB non-SMR spinners (Samsung 9mm preferred for 2TB, Seagate 15mm for 4TB)
  • 32GB DDR3 ECC Reg or 64GB LRDIMMS

  • Rolling 4-post 20-32U half rack / cabinet, 30" deep, square holes
I'll add more stuff as I get to inventorying it, please ask if you're looking for something specific.

Here are my old threads for reference, I may update them if I get time:

Thanks for looking, and stay safe!

Would you be able to sell me one of the BPN-SAS3-826SEL1-N4 backplanes?

Received a complete system from @sfbayzfs on Wednesday. Without having tested it out I can say that he was very responsive by messaging and packaged the server really well. I'll be testing it this weekend. Thanks for the excellent service thus far!

Just wanted to follow up and say I had a great experience purchasing from @sfbayzfs. Enclosure and assortment of parts arrived perfectly packed and in excellent condition. Highly recommend.

hi, I believe i once bought a Super Micro riser from you; Super Micro model RSC-RR1U-E16 rev 3

Might you have a PCI 4-port USB card to fit into above riser? thanks

Heads up - I will finally be catching up on replies tonight / tomorrow (this has been an absurdly busy week both at work and home), I'll edit this and the original post when I am done.

Just received my SC847 JBOD chassis and a variety of accessories, HBAs, cables, etc. from sfbayzfs. It was all packaged extremely well inside the chassis, the handles were disassembled from the chassis and bubble wrapped to prevent damage, etc. I got everything reassembled this evening and it's working great. This is the second time I've purchased from sfbayzfs and I would highly recommend him. Have a little patience with the life events he's working through, communication might be more delayed than usual, but I'm sure you'll be very satisfied with your purchase.

Hi all, apologies for the lack of communication recently - about three weeks ago another urgent medical situation came up suddenly, which left me no time to deal with anything until now. I am going to start catching up on replies and checking if folks are still interested in things they pinged me about. Also, I will be updating my list some time this weekend - a number of items are gone, and some more items have been found.

My condolences to everyone who lost a dear one during this pandemic and I hope everyone else with health problems will get better soon.

Sorry off topic and I hope it is not against rules. If so, I will delete it. My son came out sick from daycare yesterday. Since it happens often, it is not practical to get covid tested every time he gets fever. In any case, we are all in isolation as family and we cannot put our little son in isolation at home. At this point we are all hoping for the best for our kids as I also have a little baby. My parents and grandma are fully vaccinated and they are fine. We are getting the second shot next week. For my parents/grandma, life is still hard because they are under so much risk due to their age and preexisting conditions and they keep I living in isolation. We are still blessed though, we were able to make so far without any major impact.

I hope everyone takes a chance to get vaccinated so virus stops spreading and mutating. There is a risk with everything but all studies, and check out Israel, show the risk is low and benefits are high.

PMd OP for outer SM rails.

I do not know, nor have ever met Patrick - the owner of this site; but have enjoyed many hours of reading and his videos.

With that said, I would never-ever imagine he would not welcome geeks on here sharing a personal comment that you made.
