Wondering what kind of a use case you were serving with 10 750GB HDDS? What’s interesting to me is they’re a non-standard size, not the regular 1TB, which makes me even more curious!
These are laptop 7200 RPM drives which only available in 750gb storage and the 1tb ones were 5400RPM & expensive at the time of purchase.
So these were cost & performance wise for stable throughout bought.
Laptop version because its efficient with little difference in data rate. The setup was sold like 3years back only these were left and few others are there will put for sale gradually.
Dude if you are comparing with a single drive of same capacity, it will be always cheaper. @@kiranrss have you ever setup a home built NAS or Promox server?
These are individual drives if used in raid mode 0 will easily beat the single drive capacity and for the same reason purchased.
How does it beat a single drive in terms of capacity? Not sure I understand the math here. Your original price was 1800 per drive. Which is 18000 for all 10 drives. You can get a new toshiba 8tb drive for similar price. Not to mention the power consumption of 10 drives is significantly higher than a single drive. You also need several sata slots.
Only way this makes sense for raid project is if you actually configure it in raid mode except raid 0
Am I missing something here? Why are smaller capacity drives preferred for raid projects?
I had a DM conversation with the OP on the topic. I even suggested an offer.
However to me it seems that he is looking for a customer who is interested more in redundancy & data protection more than capacity given he is mentioning RAID.
However given the high capacity drive against which these drives are comparted the AFR comparison will change.
Dude you are forgetting that these are laptop drives not 12v based desktop ones which have much higher power consumption.
@@Rayman i had the system like 5drives in redundancy and go through the listing thoroughly.
@@bornlibra23 you are asking for 10k all together that is not justifying the value. Almost new drives with only 30days of power on time not like ones sold here with 1000+ power on time.
I am not interested in your listing price. That’s your interest irrespective of what others think. I am aware that these are 2.5 inch drives but again several drives power consumption is way higher than a single drive. Not to mention the size of 3.5 inch is definitely more space efficient than several 2.5 inch drives stacked together.
I am merely curious as to why you think a raid array of several small size 2.5 inch drives is a good idea for a server. Smaller drives are more expensive. I can understand if they were SSD but they aren’t. Anyways, GLWS.
