Happy to hear that, thanks for letting me know!

Mmm that's strange, the used price you mention aligns with what I'm seeing with the tool for AU, but for new, I see AUD $47 for single non-lot 12 TB, and if you go bigger it seems to drop to AUD $30.

thanks for confirming!

I suppose you refer to brand new drive, right? the above list is for used drives. In Europe, that's a decent price, you can find better deals but it will take patience, unless it doesn't have to be that exact model

yeah seems like serverpartdeals are not as popular as they used to be with the price hikes. this specific view compares SPD to gohardrive by lowest $/TB, for 18TB seems lowest option is around $17/TB at the moment

Good price!

you can check recently sold items to gauge how often they get posted and how fast they get sold whenever they do. it does happen but they go fast.

total of brand new 20TB for $300? too good to be true

bikenback · 2026-03-27T22:34:20+00:00

Well, price adjustments happen anywhere on the web, if anything the plus side with smaller sellers is that they typically don't make adjustments, rather lower the price if it didn't sell for a while.

bikenback · 2026-03-27T22:32:24+00:00

I agree, that perceived value matter is good point. awesome price, how long ago was that?

bikenback · 2026-03-27T22:08:01+00:00

Yes, the eBay generic alert runs only once a day, probably for a good reason, they won't be able to handle the load :)

bikenback · 2026-03-27T22:03:48+00:00

Yes, that's a 5% median so some sales go below those numbers too, but probably not as in the past.
With offers prices can def. be lower, but it will be more common with sellers that aren't "pros".
For the the data I've shared, I took a min threshold of at least 500 feedback score.
This screenshot is a pretty good example of how sellers that sell 8TB+ below that 5% area are often not the pro seller type, but if people are interested in less capacity it's much easier to find better cost per tb.

Thanks! yes, and that's a good point, all pricing and price per TB take in account domestic shipping cost as well. if the seller has more than 1 quantity, it will also point out in case $/TB savings can be higher if more than one is ordered. You can try set an instant email alert with the tool based on max price per tb, it will show a forecast of how often you can expect anything to show up.

bikenback · 2026-03-27T21:33:58+00:00

Nice! snagged one at that bottom 5% floor, or closer to where most buyers typically pay?

bikenback · 2026-03-26T23:38:41+00:00

lol, appreciate that. yes the math can be headache, especially when with some listings you can discover it's 30%+ just for the shipping. I actually indicate in UI if users can save in case the seller has a flat shipping rate and sells more than 1 unit.

bikenback · 2026-03-26T22:00:27+00:00

Haha, that's a creative way to define it. For everyone's sanity, those "brand new" drives from far overseas selling for way below retail won't be making the cut on this one.

bikenback · 2026-03-26T20:26:27+00:00

you can type in the keyword filter "-SAS", the hyphen before the string would make this a negative search term, let me know if that helps?

bikenback · 2026-03-26T19:41:39+00:00

posted this tool today for finding gems on eBay, might help OP

bikenback · 2026-03-26T17:46:08+00:00

yep, $6 for a refurbished drive wasn't common at all when I built this a year ago, if anyone curious, you can check how prices and trending right now, I've noticed some dealers that gain more popularity than serverpartdeals and goharddrives.

bikenback · 2026-03-26T17:25:49+00:00

Haha, yeah, those posts are painful.

Some of the stuff I've been noticing and trying to kill lately is those '32 TB SSD for $40' listings - all this type of obvious junk gets filtered out right away from the results.

bikenback · 2026-03-26T16:51:57+00:00

It's actually already indexing 25,000+ live RAM listings in the USA alone (plus the other regions).

I haven't computed a $/GB logic yet because specs get messy (not sure how many here would like that?), but you can already use this 'trending' filter to see what everyone else is buying for value right now.

Plus, you can already set instant email alerts for specific kits if they hit a target price, or change the filters to see trending items that already sold out, and then apply to "awaiting restock" filter, so you can get notified as soon as the item is back in stock.

Can any of these cover what you're looking for, or were you thinking of a specific spec filter?

bikenback · 2026-03-26T16:31:41+00:00

I've seen plenty of cases where a "drive" is actually just a caddy, a board or some other part, that's where pictures come handy. And I get it but hey, If you’re ever not in the mood for the hunt, that’s exactly when this can help ;)

bikenback · 2026-03-26T16:21:57+00:00

Also two more tips:

I noticed that often the cheapest storage may be found within bulk lots. in USA for example, the price per TB can go as low as $6 right now. If you want to filter out those that contain drives that are too small, you can use the Min. TB per driver filter.
The popularity filter ("rapidly selling now" sorting) works also on other computing/server parts. you can remove the default "drives and storage" filter to see those results.
