Sheeeeeiiiiiitt

God damn I'm jealous.

88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?

You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I'm curious to know the total cost.

You lucky bastard, respectfully.

Nice haul! I hope you also managed to get the small power plant for the drives. That's not going to be pretty.

I also work in a data center, I can't take anything :(

I thought I was living large with my two 12tb drives I bought for $86 each lol.

Holy shit dude. You can take like a quarter of that and make an absolutely silly system, and make a decent chunk of change selling the rest.

That electric bill, though. 🤣

Where do you live that power is so cheap that you can spin that much rust and also can you run extension lead to my place?

With great power...

I'm super jealous. Whenever we decom servers at work, we're required to fill out paperwork and provide proof that all HDDs and SSDs were properly destroyed (i.e. rendered completely unusable and wiped) and turned in to our disposal department. The servers themselves also have to be handed over to them. I'm not sure what they do with the servers, but I'm guessing they either repurpose them as emergency replacements for other sites that have hardware failures or they bulk sell them at auctions or something.

I assume they’re past some operational limit. But as long as you have redundancy that’s a risk I’d take for the capacity

If you'd like to sell a couple of drivers and you're in Europe, contact me.

88 × 8 Tb? Archive the internet archives.

Hey it's me ur brother...
