    Last week I purchased Superorb's other posting for an unopened WD Red 8TB drive, and I received it today.  It was exactly as advertised, and Superorb shipped reasonably quickly.  I've got it installed and I'm pre-clearing it now.

     

    Thought I would share in case anyone is interested.  Thanks Superorb!

    Thanks Paul! Glad to hear all is well. The server is possibly pending as of tonight, but I'm not certain yet. Moving data off now and getting 100MB/s to my new laptop. These past few years I've been using my old desktop and only getting 30MB/s and thought that was all the server could do. Oh well... Somebody will be getting a fast server.

    I'm currently in Fort Worth and I'm happy to meet in the DFW area or perhaps farther if needed. I still have the case's box so I can ship this as well at buyer's expense. Can provide any logs or screenshots you need. Only error is a UPS connection lost since I'm not using a UPS and it doesn't affect the operation of the server. All data will be removed from the server prior to selling. Ready to run, turnkey server that I have been using reliably for years. I can accept payment via Paypal, Venmo, Square, and Zelle.

    This is your current sig, it looks pretty old to me.

    Where'd you find that?!?! Exactly what I'm looking for, thanks! Everything is current except for all the newer 8TB drives and 8-port SATA card.

    Fractal design R2 XL. At the moment 8 disc's in the std cages. I also have 3 in the IcyDock. With some adjustments you can add another 4 disc's below but you need to buy another cage.

     

    I'm using the 3 standard 120mm fans that were included and added a 4th. I also have the one in the icydock.

     

    So even the drives in the stock slots stay cool? That's a nice case.

    I have the hot-swap. Temp of the disk was around 34 during a parity check. I just put in a new HGST 6TB disk in that cage and during the preclear the temp didn't go over 34-35 degrees.

    What's the room temp during a parity check?

    I have been using a fully populated Norco SS-500 cage for a few years now, with a low noise 80mm fan in the Caribbean without ever experiencing temperature extremes in any of my drives. All things being equal-good case air flow, reasonable ambient temperatures, etc., you shouldn't have heat issues with a quality low noise fan in this cage.

    I use three 5-in-3 iStarUSA cabinets in a little different way.  My server case has five 120mm evac fans (technically six since my power supply vents out, not a pull-from-bottom config), and I removed the entire fan assembly from the iStarUSA cages.  This removed noise and allows all five case fans to pull air directly through the front venting on the drive cages.  The case is otherwise completely sealed, thus 100% of air that enters the case and is vented by the fans has to pass over the drives first.

     

    I am presently modifying the case to instead use 4 220mm fans for evac, increasing airflow and reducing noise.  Will keep a very slow, quiet 120mm fan in the traditional rear position to vent CPU heat directly.

     

     

     

     

    For a while I was actually doing the same thing with the same iStarUSA 5in3 cages and I removed the stock fans. My case only had two 120mm fans along with the 80mm PSU fan and it didn't work at all. Temps were terrible at 40+ with a room temp of 76F. Could have been that my exhaust fans weren't good for that purpose. I only had 8 drives out of the 15 available. It must be quiet because it sits next to my desk and I work from home.

     

    What case are you using?

    Hooked both drives up to my new Win10 PC and both of them formatted fine and I could copy data to/from them. They appear to be regular 8TB Red drives. I may order another one from another seller to hopefully get some drives with warranties. If not I'll sell the enclosures without the serials so I can retain them in case a drive fails. I ordered mine from Newegg's Ebay store which was shipped form Ingram Micro and not Newegg themselves. May have something to do with the OEM problem.
