5 X 320gb Hdds

[Wacky Dee]

They're WD WD3200YS drives and they've been sitting in a RAID array (media box) for less than 2 years. Can be used in an array or as standalone drives. Perfect condition, no noise, fast drives.

$150 for all 5. Sydney pickup only. PM me if interested.

hey guys they didn't sell ... One issue with the drives though that I found out. Since I had them connected to this raid controller their internal firmware has switched on staggered start up or something which means these drives now only work with this particular raid controller but not with normal sata controllers. It cannot be reversed.

This is a fault acknowledged by Western Digital and I believe they have about 2 years of warranty left in them so WD would most likely replace them for new drives.

I can't be stuffed sending them in so if anyone wants them for $100 they're all yours. Otherwise I'll contact WD and get them replaced and they will be up for sale for $150 again.

Just to clear up one thing .. they DO work but only when connected to a highpoint raid controller.

I have the controller to go with them for sale if anyone wants to buy the lot for $400. The raid controller (highpoint rocketraid 2320) itself still sells for $500 in most stores. Please PM me if interested.

tell me where you are

i'll take them...

would you mind PM me the serial numbers?

I've checked the WD web site earlier today, 4 of the drives have 2 year warranty and 1 has 3 years warranty left on it. So shouldn't be an issue getting them replaced if you decide to hook them up to another sata controller. I'm in camperdown (sydney)

Denis,

My brother is no longer interested, so I'll have to pull out of the bid.

Good luck!
