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.

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)

      Curious to why you're not getting Jesse to do the exhaust, seeing that he has just done 2 GTRs with Aes valves.

      What extra parts are you thinking you'll need to run e85 compared to e30?

      I'm not aware of e30 in Australia, but I'm pretty sure e85 is still around. You really want a setup with an ethanol sensor so you can run any mix of ethanol depending on what you can access. Fuel Check NSW app shows 14 site in sydney metro with e85. What are you adding, will you put in bigger turbs too? Apparently the wastegates are pretty small and can't bypass enough as you run more boost.  I'm sticking to 1.3 bar with 98 on the standard turbos with my tune on advice from the tuner, and boost drops significantly in the top end; apparently larger turbos with larger wastegates are needed to get anywhere meaningful from there.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By wizlb · Posted

      Hey Ppl,   I am about to tuned my Infiniti Q60 with E-85 and if you can tell me some location where I can top up my car that would be great.   But my other question, is E-30 available because this tuned requires less mods parts and any info you can offer would be greatly appreciated too!!
