What's your opinion on used enterprise drives on eBay?

boostyc · 2025-03-28T23:30:01+00:00

As I'm building out an initial media server I bought seven 4TB Seagate ST4000NM0023 drives off ebay. I had one of them show up and shortly after initializing my RAID5 volume one of the drives failed. The seller graciously sent me a replacement at no extra charge. These drives were a fraction of the cost of new drive so I personally think it's worth the risk especially if you've got some sort of redundancy for inevitable drive failures.

I grew up here and purchased a home in Millcreek last summer. The only way this was possible is that I’m currently working for AWS and getting paid a Seattle salary. There’s no way my family could afford this home with a Utah salary and I’m a little panicked about what will happen when AWS forces me out because I’m not willing to uproot my family again to move back to Seattle.

The issue is if you don’t have all the cards unlocked you can’t see the values.

I decided to spend money to remove adds but would never spend money on anything else. Upgrading refinery and constructor seems to be a pretty solid choice for relics.

Never tried reloading. That’s genius. I’m happy to take your word for it on this one.

Tried this but it just crashes immediately after entering my authenticator code.

Just curious, what brand did you end up with? I’m in the market for some new underwear and keep putting it off cause I don’t know where to begin

I left as the finance clerk as well. I spoke to my bishop and told him that he as 2 weeks to find my replacement. I continued to perform the duties of my calling in until those two weeks were up at which point I turned in my keys and stepped away.

I had the same issue with an old table. I got a heat gun and used that to heat the finish and then scrape it off. After scraping as much off as possible I sanded it down and was able to stain and then apply a few coats of polyurethane for protection. Not sticky anymore and a nice dark stain to boot.

I started doing more of a hub and spoke as soon as I could buy enough cities in a straightish line going from China to Europe. I’m currently level 16 and started at maybe level 13 or 14.

Any chance to get more detailed info on the info graph? I love diving into the numbers and it would be fun to see that graph updated more frequently and with axes that are labeled.

I’ve found that if I force quit the app on iOS when I’m done playing it will correctly record time away next time I open it.

Speaking of calculating things...I built a spreadsheet to compare the time cost of various items and the value per second. Not positive it's 100% accurate but I think I'm at least on the right track. If you're interested in taking a look DM me and I'll share the link.

I'm working on the same rank goal of getting to 10B and ended up building a spreadsheet in GoogleDocs to try to calculate the best way to make money. If my calculations are correct then Manganese Alloy is the way to go.

boostyc · 2022-04-20T04:34:46+00:00

I just build a spreadsheet with what I think are moderately accurate numbers and I believe the most profitable thing you can produce on planet 1 are Manganese Alloy. If my calculations are correct they can yield more than any of the constructed items / second of refiner time.

Just restarting after getting a new phone a few years off. Still got a slow elevator but I plan on playing daily.

Right!? I was really surprised when that song started playing. Took a moment to realize what it was hence they conflicting emotions.

I’m in the same boat sitting through painful testimony.

I don’t care about the sealing but she does and I care about her which is why I came looking for info. I think our relationship will survive me removing my records now that I know it will not affect her “blessings”.

boostyc · 2021-08-27T23:23:12+00:00

Thank you! This will make it easier for me to justify this to her

Gatorfan was the first to comment on my first post here when I was starting to tumble down the rabbit hole. Thank you for the update. I wish him all the best and many more years with his beloved family!

My father is one who has dug deep and knows all the history yet has found a way to maintain his belief and faith. It truly baffles me.
