Thinking I'd like to upgrade to 1-1.5TB drives so I'm selling my 500GB drives. $500 for all 12 or $270 for 6. They range in age from 3 months to 2 years and I have receipts for most of them (for warranty purposes 5yrs).
Ever hear of Optimus Zoom? Me either.

    Hrm,
    That'll take a bit as they're all jammed in backplanes but I think there are 9 seagates, 2 maxtors and a western digital.

    Oh right, I forgot there is anything else but SATAII 7200 :)

    -They're all SATAII 7200 drives.
    -Not looking to sell just one.
    -They're just internal drives, no enclosures.

    This is essentially a chance for somebody who wants to setup a file server to do so cheaply, I've run these in a ZFS+ (similar to RAID6) setup on Solaris for home use.

    Darn.. very, very tempting. 4 or 6 of those would save my arse for the next couple of years... In a Drobo-like device...headscratch.gif

    Drobo is an option, I like my stuff backed up all over the place :)
