But the seller has 0-rating... so it may be risky !

The seller that nephri listed above has dropped their price to $399 for anybody that is interested. Looks like there are quite a lot of them as well since more than 10 are available. According to the ebay page they removed the hard drives from these enclosures just like the EU seller.
Could be a very good buy if interested.

$429 - HGST 1ES0034 Drive Enclosure - 4U Rack-mountable - 60 3.5" Drive Bay w/ Carriers - got this seller to add local pickup.
$ 399 - HGST 1ES0085 Storag Enclosure Rackmount - 4U60 60 x 3.5" Drive Bay w/ carriers
TBH I want one of these fairly badly but am in 40" racks right now so they will not fit.
Does anyone have dimensions with rails? Is it really 38.75 inches? That will hit a zero U PDU in a 40" rack. @Mirabis any idea about depth with just rails and without the cable management?
Perhaps I should make that with a non-EU flag.

I bought one off the $399 listing for a $300 OBO. The depth of the chassis gets quoted at 33.5" in the installation guide: http://www.colfax-intl.com/nd/downloads/4U60-Storage-Enclosure-Installation-Guide.pdf
Going to have me a SuperMicro 45 JBOD vs. HGST 4U60 duel soon
They sent me a note back that it is around 35" with rails. Any chance you would mind measuring for me?I bought one off the $399 listing for a $300 OBO.

Sure thing, when it gets here I'll take measurements and put some pics up with it racked. I'm a little worried about the clearance with my 0U PDUs too...They sent me a note back that it is around 35" with rails. Any chance you would mind measuring for me?
Only thing is no shipping info yet and it's crossing over to the East Coast ground, so it's not going to be here till next week.
the docs also list the size without cable management, but at work now

This seller accepted $300:
HGST 1ES0085 Storag Enclosure Rackmount - 4U60 60 x 3.5" Drive Bay w/ carriers
Anyone confirm whether or not this will accept 110v? I know we have a previous poster sharing the PSU picture but nothing in the documentation seems to indicate that 110v is supported and the pictures in the listings also don't show 110v.

The docs also confirm it requires 200-240v.

Reached out to the seller and he said they're confused by the documentation as well. The systems come with 110v cables and they powered them up / performed basic testing with no problems.
A scam in what way?
If it is a scam I have 140 lbs worth of bricks coming early next week according to the tracking number
That's interesting. The one time I accidentally tried to power up a psu that only took 200+ with 120 I got no reaction from it.
No problem. No idea why there is such a big difference in weight but FedEx has it at 140.4.
Also the shipper is iXsystems. Definitely the type of company that would buy these just for the hard drives.
I asked the seller "Can you confirm these will run from NORMAL California AC outlets like most people have in their homes." their reply was "You are in luck. Each server has two power supplies, which are auto ranging. And supplied are 2 110v power cords. If you had 240v you could use that if you have the adapters. Yes you can plug them into a normal 110v outlet." HOWEVER today I get no response at all the unit I am testing using my home California 110v power. :-( Anyone have theirs working on v110? I have one HD inside but no compatible adapter card. Is an adapter card required for it to power up? My test unit appears dead -- no power draw at all from the wall.
ps. Something else that worries me manual section that says: "The SEP examines the Inquiry data of all attached drives to determine if they are a supported type. If an unsupported device is attached to the 4U60 Storage Enclosure, it will not be available to access." and in the list are only UltraStar drives! -> Can someone confirm theirs is working with HDD from other brands?

That was my worry - see the start of the thread.
I bought a couple from the UK seller. I've only really started using one. So far my Western Digital Red 3TB and 4Tb drives work fine. So do Toshiba 3Tb and 4TB drives. However, I have tried a Seagate 2TB SATA drive and that isn't appearing in Windows so far. I've not had time to try another one but the drive works fine using a normal SATA drive interface. I'm using a HP H240 - I suppose it could be that?
Btw my Areca raid card didn't detect any drives (it did see the enclosure) but I haven't updated the firmware for a while so that could be it.
Bottom line - you may need to take your chances but since it is a pretty future proof purchase worst case position it for future disk hosting?
