Make your own deal?? DC P3700 800GB Drives

[Quasduco]

Hello all,

I recently bought some SuperMicro servers from a dealer on eBay, and just got an email this morning about some SSDs.

His message:

Hello,
I have :
New SSD Intel DC P3700 800GB 2.5" SSDPE2MD800G4
Qty around 10
They are new and sealed.
Please give me your price if you are interested!
​

To be perfectly blunt, this tech is out of my experience/price knowledgebase, but a quick google makes it sound pretty recent and desirable...

I have emailed the dealer asking his permission to share his email to the forum. I will update the post with it either way.



Disclaimer: I have no relationship with this guy, other than going through a few rounds of negotiations to buy a pair of servers, which won't even arrive until end of next week... I will say, I feel I got a really good deal on the servers, though.

Do you think he'd take 10 bucks a piece? I'd be willing to buy them all.

Why didn't I think of that?!? I just thought "ooh, the pic of the drive says NVMe, no way I can afford that..."

And here I am thinking about storage: "I wonder if I can BO 4 of these 300GB 15k drives for $17 each...", never mind thinking about solid states, especially of that level...

I'd love to snag 4 more at a reasonable price Keep us posted.

I would buy all 10 at $200 ea!

 

[abq]

Ok, i would easily go $250 each. ... Let me know if you have any left over

Looks like I've been out bid.

I hope I didn't scare the guy away with my request... Haven't heard anything back, though I guess it is a Sunday, so not possibly unexpected...

 

[abq]

Any update? ...hope you got a couple in your Christmas stocking

Sadly, no. Looks like one of the two servers I got has a dead network port, too...
