Bulk Purchase ?
-
@haitch Maybe the buyer could just list a private auction? I can checkout as guest on paypal for a private auction, maybe this would work for the other guys too?
ETA: I want to purchase 100 TB
-
@mr.x Didn't know about the paypal private auctions, will look into it, but I've asked my contact if there are other ways to pay.
-
@haitch Yes Ebay has that option, might work well for the seller as well! Thanks haitch!
-
@mr.x They can only do this price by not going through eBay - the fees cost them too much.
-
@haitch Well then he wins! ;) Thanks for trying!
-
@mr.x I'll have an update tomorrow.
-
I can do four 8TB internal drives right now. Is the supplier interested in doing this every three months?
-
Okay, seeing as they are going to be individual orders, those that want to buy need to email matt@viixim.com tell him you're part of the collective buy Hamish is doing, how many drives you want, and shipping address.
Two (maybe three) payment options:
-
Paypal - shipping address must be a verified by Paypal address. They'll send you an invoice to pay for the drives, so make sure you include your paypal address.
-
Credit card - not sure of the specifics on this, but give him your shipping address and tel him you want to buy with Credit Card.
-
Wire Transfer may be an option, but I believe additional costs are invloved.
Again these are Western Digital HDD WD80EZZX 3.5in 8TB SATA 6GB/s 5400RPM 128MB Cache, they're warrantied until 2020. Mine arrived today, and they appear to be extremely professionally backed - 2 boxes of 12 drives each using orginal drive shipping packing materials.

-
@haitch , do we do that now?
-
@rds whenever you're ready to order.
-
@haitch , For some reason I thought these were SAS drives. Will these SATA drives work on a supermicro SAS2 backplane?
-
@rds SATA drive work on a SAS backplane, SAS drives will not work on a SATA backplane.
The 24 I have, and 45 I'm ordering will all be going into a SAS2/SATA3 backplane
-
@haitch , ok. thanks, BTW, I emailed Matt about 4 hours ago, no response yet.
-
@rds You probably just missed his work window - he might get back to you over the weekend, otherwise Monday
-
@haitch I'd be in for 2-3 drives, Thanks for organizing the group buy!
-
@haitch , ok. thanks, BTW, I emailed Matt about 4 hours ago, no response yet.

-

-
