Anyone selling a SSD? 500gb preferred

This thread delivers

He needs to try and sell another turbo soon.

No one wants a HDD.

I have about 75TB worth of them.


But have to agree. A 500GB SSD though far cheaper than they used to be is still an item most won't sell because it can be useful in any future builds. They are basically worth more to keep than they are to take the loss and sell used.

I can't see even selling my 256GB SSD's.

If anyone has 3TB+ spinny relics that are just too plebeian to be caught with, please PM me an address and I will pick them up.

I've got like 5 of these in my NAS. Two I bought about 2 months ago to expand the other 3 have almost 3.5 years of spin time on them and no SMART errors.

Don't know you'll find that much cheaper and they at least have a 90 day warranty.

I've got 4 WD Red 3TB's sitting on my desk now. They have like 41,000 hours on them. SMART logs are clean.

Have no idea what I would do with them. Was entertaining the ides of a 6TB Raid 10 array so I didn't have to deal with parity if a drive dropped out.

I would give them away. I'd just need to do a ATA Secure erase on them.

DBAN em. My advice is disconnect your other drives when you do it though.

the ATA Secure Erase command in Enhanced mode is faster as there is no IO on the bus. The disk controller does it much faster.

I use PartedMagic to issue the command usually. But FreeNAS has its own built-in way to issue it.

ATA is the only way to really issue an erase command on a solid state drive. NVMe has its own version of the protocol.

The only drawback is the disk must be directly attached to the SATA/NVMe bus. Won't work with USB drives.

Currently sitting on TOP of my NAS, and not IN my NAS.

4x 3TB WD Reds
5x 4TB WD Greens
6x 2TB various drives.

LoL. I have way too many drives sitting around.

Oh wait, I DO have a server with 24 3.5" bays.
