Hi guys, 

 

Have a FreeNAS box that has 8x14TB Drives - I was using it to store crap-ton of 4k movies and TV Shows, but have now offloaded that all onto cloud storage, so won't need more than a couple.

 

Drives are in perfect condition, looking for receipt now, but only a few months old. Retail price is ~$920 so looking for about $800 each

 

Interested in any offers

 





NAS: FreeNAS, i9-9900k, 8x14TB IronWolf Pro, 64GB RAM, 2x128GB NVMe (1 boot, 1 SLOG), 10GbE

 

PC: Ryzen 3900x, 64GB RAM, 2080Ti Waterforce, Corsair H150i, ROG PG349Q, 10GbE

 

EdgeRouter 4, EdgeSwitch 16 XG, EdgeSwitch 48 Lite

Ahh... Quick question. What cloud provider did you use to store all of that? Was it ridiculously expensive?

Google Drive haha I have a G Suite account and it is supposed to be unlimited for over 5 users and 1TB if fewer than 5 users but they don't really check

I wonder if they will check once you store nearly 100tb of data. I get that you probably used raid, but 100tb sounds better.

Hi,

 

Tempting, but ideally i'd probably like to avoid shipping these.

 

 

 

Where are you located.
