Well, as per subject, there's a sizable number of drives up for grabs!



Each drive has been:
- Drive wiped and "Zero'ed" (secure erased)
- Quick SMART and drive fitness test performed, and passed


Here are the specs and price for each type/lot:

And now, the main event...

Seagate Constellation ES 2TB

Model: ST2000NM0011

These were ex-production spares, hardly actually been used/spun up other than the occasional test.

10 available, split across 2 manufacture batches (see above, useful if you want to grab all of them for a large RAID)
- $140.00 each
- $260.00 for 2 drives (=$130.00 each)
- $500.00 for 4 drives (=$125.00 each)
- $900.00 for 8 drives (=$112.50 each) with free shipping included
- $1000.00 for all 10 drives (=$100.00 each) with free shipping included

Priority will be given for someone who wants all 10 drives, then in the largest lots within the next day or so.

Considering an Enterprise grade 2TB 7200rpm such as the Seagate Constellation CS or ES.2 currently goes for around $180.00 to $190.00 (according to PriceSpy), I think my price is quite competitive for barely used drives with half the drive's warranty length left.


Unless otherwise stated above, shipping is extra.
You can also arrange for a pick up around Ellerslie/Penrose/Mount Wellington area in Auckland.

Ideally I'd like to clear them by Friday morning (as I'll be out of town this weekend).

Send me a PM me if you are interested!
