Migrated to 8*10TB. $100 saving per month on electric bill.

Good deal. I bought some of the same Sun-branded HGST 3TB SAS drives for $20/ea from a different ebay seller a while back to buy some cheap space while I wait for prices to come down on bigger drives. As pointed out it isn't the most power-efficient thing to run the smaller drives these days. Still not a big enough difference to make it a reasonable payback period to buy new drives.

are these locked to SUN WS only or it will work with any sas cards?

SUN drives listing will work with any sas cards.
I have few SUN drives

I did a bad thing

Woke up this morning, got a message from seller, seller offered me $12 for each drive.
Then, I received a Ebay bucks 8% coupon.
I accepted the offer for the remaining 10 drives at $12 each + $27 shipping

I thought @Marsh stopped buying low capacity drives... Those eBay cash backs are definitely a bad influence.

$12 each offer by the seller was tempting also.
I just dig out my last 2 x SM 3u ( 16 drives ) chassis from deep storage.
Going to build up the 2 SM chassis with old E5-24xx v1 SM motherboard

Nice! That's under $5/TB.
