I’ve found these NetApp SAS Festplatte 6TB 7,2k SAS 12G 3,5" - 111-02374 E-X4064A-R6 ST6000NM0034, that cost only 38€! It’s a brand that I’ve never heard about and I’ve no idea how many hours they’ve worked (I’ve asked and I’m waiting for an answer). What do you think?
Edit: I’ve asked the seller if there is a custom firmware that makes the drive unusable and it answered me saying that they work with any SAS HBA controller. They have worked 1863h and written 130TB (he showed me 4 screenshots of 4 tests of 4 drives)
For what I saw there’s a good chance it has a custom firmware that makes them unusable outside the walled garden
Mmm…interesting, how did you arrive to that thought?
Edit1: in the meanwhile I’ve asked the seller if they have a custom firmware. They have already answered me with 4 test of 4 drives that reports 1863h of work and about 130TB written
