Title: Checking Demand: Enterprise Hard Drives
Post by: Masterdrive on September 11, 2012, 12:55 am
I have spent a few months as a buyer under another name and have great faith in this community.

I'd like to see the demand for enterprise drives. I can get enterprise ssd's at 3tb. Some of these drives are very expensive at 3000 or higher. I can provide verifiable images and will work a deal out for super cheap with a reputable user on the forum for verification.

I can provide hard drives at excellent prices. Is this something you guys would be interested in seeing?

Thanks,
MD

I'd  be interesting in some large capacity (2TB+) 7200rpm drives (can't afford SSD) if you can get them cheaper then newegg.

So far two people have shown interest. I could do 30-40% off newegg retail for volume purchases of three or more, group buy with friends etc. For single purchases I'm thinking 15-20% off newegg retail including shipping.

As for high end ssd drives some range from 3000-5000 for those I'm willing to go 50%

I take it there is some interest in this. I will look into creating a vendor account but I'd still like some feedback.

If you can get those kind of prices, I'll probably pick up at least 10 drives myself. I'm pretty sure there's a market for them--if nothing else you'll have a bunch of people like myself who just want data storage for uncompressed h.264s and such.

I'd buy some 3tb drives if they were 50% absolutely.

I'd be interested, 30-40% off sounds great. I need to build a new array would probably buy 10-20.

7200rpm 3 TB stata drives sound good to me, depending on what you have for SSD's I might be interested in those too (+1 for 2.5 inch laptop drives)

Are the SSD/hard drives WD, Hitachi, Seagate, Samsung, Intel, OCZ?

What I have is top end stuff. Let me check on warranty information, may not be possible to protect the buyer.

All stuff is 100% brand new. I'm going to setup a vendor account this week and update you all at that time.

Thanks everyone.
