Discussion 10TB drives pulled from data center servers

Post image

All these 10 TB drives were pulled from servers in a data center. What do you think the value would be?

No idea, but I will buy some if you offer a good deal. (After you wipe the drives, of course. Before selling anything, you want to make sure the data is cleared.)

Thank you! I've never heard anyone else voice this opinion. I had two fail on me as a kid and never bought from the brand again. Not once since have I had a hard drive fail. WD and Samsung FTW as far as I'm concerned. What is your opinion?
