I thought I'd post this to the list to see if anyone is interested. I'm cleaning out the home office and have 4x250GB WD2500 PATA drives, 8x250GB WD2500 SATA drives, a 3Ware 3W-7810 8-port IDE card, with cables, and a 3Ware 3W-7410 4 port IDE card without cables.
The cards were pulled from retired systems about a year ago before they went to the recycle center. The drives were retired after 36 months of operation, also about a year ago. The reason why I say up to 3TB of drives is because one of the IDE drives went offline on the 8 port card I was using at home. I don't think the drive is bad, but the mobo of that system is going south. One of the SATA drives is marked bad?, but I don't remember the reason why. I don't have any SATA systems at home, so I can't test them out. So, I'm OK with just throwing them into the lot, and basing an offer on 2.5TB worth of drives, plus cards. These cards work just fine under Linux, BSD or Windows. If someone would like the entire lot, I'll deliver. If not, we can negotiate. -- Mark Schoonover, CMDBA http://www.linkedin.com/in/markschoonover http://marksitblog.blogspot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
