They were olde by the time I got to administer them and they were failing every so often. They were a pain to work with as I recall, but again no lost data. They would beep with no issues sometimes. One thing that wasn’t their fault was a previous admin had set them up in threes with all but one disk in a raid5 array. They were wondering why performance was crap and one array would just drop every week like clockwork.

Took a while, but I mirrored (VVM) the data off on spare 3500s set up properly. They ran okay then. It was just ancient storage. Glad to work on netapps now. So much smoother and sophisticated storage compared to the olden days. lol

No. I won’t go back there. I am biding my time here waiting for more to come. It’ll happen eventually.

This post is two-weeks old and nobody posted the IPoAC packet loss pic? I am disappoint.

It does seem like a good value. It is shipping from China, so some risks for international orders. I have had sellers ghost me for smaller value items. Not much I could do. I get more nervous on higher dollar items, but this seller has okay history with two negative reports in the last month. One of the reports is worrisome.

The board is an ATX board, so any case that fits ATX should work. Of course cooling solutions will need to fit, too.

“Too good to be true” is something to consider, but fleabayers do sell lots of things at well below market value, so I am conflicted. Ultimately, I am not sure I could pull the trigger given the costs and the international purchase.
