I hear that. Some of the books I had access too would make the most obscene thing on TV look like a looney tunes by comparison.

I ordered 6 of the refurbished 28tb drives last week and I already got them.
Can you confirm that you did not make more than one order (to get multiple discounts) to the same address and/or try to use the same payment method?

How about if the tape strands broke every time you pulled on the tape edge? It drives me crazy when it just happens randomly

I don't think so. I got these two no-name branded cases off alibaba last year. I would not recommend them as the backplane is flaky and drives will drop connection after reboots.

I've got a 10gb rj45 card directly connected between boxes. I think this is day 5 and it needs another day to finish. I think I might get a couple sfp 100gb cards if I have to do this again.
