They're down to $13.20 for larger orders, and they absolutely respond to Buy It Now(edit: forgot this is a holiday weekend, so they may not be as responsive...).

This is some of the cheapest $/tb I've seen, anyway.

Those are NetAPP disks
they use NetApp firmware which makes them almost unusable

very bad firmware

 

[bwahaha]

shit. removed the link.

Can you reflash them?

Can you reflash them?

didnt try with these disks but first you need to find the official firmware as that part is not easy always

 

[bwahaha]

So, my order just arrived (same listing), and Ubuntu recognizes the drives as 6tb, and a quick format said it worked, and it said I put a folder and a couple of files on there. I'm doing a full-zero format, which Ubuntu says it'll take about 24 hrs.

wow that was a super low price per TB while it lasted.

yeah. not even mad about the firmware, if they just work. Doesn't appear SMART is working, but at the $3/tb I paid...

Yeah a whopping $2.2/TB in quantity! The bar has been set.

 

[Whaaat]

I got rid of drives this model - very hot in idle. Switch to helium was totally justified

At that price it is better to get one of the $40 8TB drives (helium). I have 48x 8TB and only lost two over the years.

Good to know. That explains why three SSDs I purchased on eBay failed right after the return period.

This thread reminds me of the situation I've observed way too many times:

A moron comes to a thread on a popular subject and posts some stupid garbage (i.e. factually incorrect information).
That post stays mostly ignored until another moron comes along and likes every post in the thread "just because they like the subject of the thread in general" (or for some other equally stupid reason).
And finally more morons come, interpret the likes of the stupid post as an endorsement of the false information in that specific post, continue to make up more bullshit (personal anecdotal evidence). The obvious falsehood becomes a "well-known fact".

All characters are fictional. All similarities are coincidental. (c)
