I recently had a chance to get some hgst pre prod. SAS/SATA drives (likely Ultrastars). Would anyone be interested getting some of these things at $10 per TB?
I've been running an array of them in my testbed zfs systems at home, and haven't had any problems so far (2 weeks). No smartinfo whatsoever, except drive identification info (serial and pn). No warranty, obviously.
I don't know if it's frowned upon to sell these, I thought I might as share some since I can't use it all.
Edit: Terms of Sale & pictures update
Drive Info
I will update quantities remaining as time goes. I am copy/pasting these terms of sale into the invoice; if you don't find them satisfactory, that's fine with me, no worries.
Qty remaining:
6TB: 0 available
4TB: 0 available

Drive Info
- 4TB Drive: https://i.imgur.com/7AkFko8.jpg
- 6TB Drive: https://i.imgur.com/yrspKLV.jpg
- These are pre-prod. drives. Look at the label pictures.
- No warranty whatsoever.
- There are no smart information emitted from this drive. That means no temperature data, no hours on data, no power on hours data, etc. Only data I was able to get was PN/SN and manufacturer data.
- These were manufactured in 2017. Check pictures for more info.
- I've been running the 4TB spinners in ZFS napp-it for about 2 weeks (6gbps SM backplane), and I haven't encountered any issues yet.
- Paypal only.
- $10 per TB and $10 per shipment for USPS priority mail to continental US only. (example: 10 6TB drives = 10x6x10+10 = $610 shipped)
- I am selling AS IS, considering they are pre-prod. drives. However, I will guarantee that they are not defective and will accept returns for 14 days from date of receipt if you find the product defective or you find the received product not representative of the descriptions you see/read here.
