question for all you IT bods.

[Redsps]

On the basis that there appears to be a lot of IT bods on this board, I am making the following request.
do any of you guys have or have access to, storage and tape devices, dead or alive.
I am getting low on all type of hard disks, array units and all types of tape drives, especially DLT/SDLT/AIT/LTO etc, dead or alive in any quantity.
If anyone can help out let me know, this is a part of my business, so could do a good deal for the right kit.
U2U me or email me.

cheers

I may be able to get hold of 36GB disks, they're not in too much demand these days - or are you looking for a full array type solution?

I can possibly get hold of some 36Gb, 18Gb, maybe some 9Gb SCSI discs for RAID arrays

Might also at a push be able to get hold of DELL PERC Raid controllers, and possibly a 40/80Gb DLT1 drive (external)

Either all new or used, but in good working order

It's alright Robin, I'm just giggling at all this equipment coming out of the woodwork.

I needed a server built yesterday in a hurry for some DR testing I've been doing all bloody weekend (another story) and no-one could get their hands on disk! Oh the irony ...

It was politics though, not the lack of disk kicking around ...

And having a laugh because I know who Freak works for, the same company works in here ....

TP - I don't know what your saying!!!

Oh there's a DLT autoloader, and several DELL servers, plus a nice shiny new HP one, still boxed !!! LOL!!

[Redsps]

the more than comes out the better, deals on wheels time as they say.

I need accurate amounts and descriptions so as to work out prices.

I know someone who collects old and dead hard drives. They often have a life time warranty on them so he ships them back to Seagate or whoever and they send him a brand new drive with twenty times the capacity for nothing which he then sells on ebay!

I've got three EMC Symmetrix (DMX) two .. what are they worth to you?

We would have to arrange a delivery location and time for them before I 'picked them up' you understand.

What about a powderhorn, there's one of those in the store too waiting to be deployed, I mean decomissioned :lol:

[Redsps]
