This bad boy is a Micron 5300 Pro, 2.5 inch SATA SSD, specifically this one is a whopping 7.68 terabytes in capacity, and my friend bought this for just £230. I know, it sounds like a scam, right? Well much to my surprise, it actually isn’t. This enterprise drive launched in 2019, and likely retailed for somewhere between £1,500 and £2,000, with used examples on ebay asking for around £600 right now, so why is this so cheap? Can you buy one? Let me explain.

Finally a drive that can store all of Black ops 6
😂
🤣
None in stock now unfortunately, wish I'd seen this video 12 hours ago.
The price per space and performance is crazy... I remember when i was in the SI business and a 128 gb sata 2 ssd was somewhere around 250 $. My my... How far we've come
I got 4 7.68TB WD SN200 U.2 NVME 3.0 a while back used on eBay for 200$ a pop. Used old enterprise drives go cheap on eBay.
It's not at all weird that someone would sell an enterprise item at pennies on the dollar. You have to keep in mind that if it was a business they got to write it off at some point as an expense to eliminate some tax debt. And they got to use the item for however much period of time. So they got more than fair value out of it at reduced or no effective cost. So when it when dead stock to them essentially they don't care how much they get back. It's more about finding someone that will take it all and make it as hassle free as possible. CEX likely was willing to not only buy a mass amount at one time but potentially to pick them up as well.
Bought some for my NAS. Finally getting rid of my spinning rust.
Only got shipping confirmation for two of the drives - I wanted to replace my four 8TB HDDs. Ah well, could be worse. :)
@@SpreadieWait so you use a 2.5 inch drives for your NAS?
@@mayuravirus6134 For the primary NAS, yes.
There something I don't understand about the MTTF : in your video I can see polarized electrolytic capacitor (looks like panasonic EB, with 7 of them probably used in case of power failure to have time to flush the cache) . This capacitor don't age well. During any restoration of old electronic equipments (audio, measuring instrument,...) that's the first thing to replace. The liquid inside is corrosive and leek are very possible. So 3,000,000 hours seems very optimistic to me... Anyway they are still very good SSD
was thinking about those capacitors too
It even has actual capacitor bank, it definitely handles writes to flash on power-loss event from dram with that, this is a steal
Even crazier CEX offer a 24 month guarantee on just about everything they sell beating Amazon’s 1 year guarantee.😮😅
S.M.A.R.T. values are easily manipulated or reset.
The 5300 Pro appears to come in a number of sizes - not just 7.68TB.
Found, and bought! What a find! Thanks for another great vid
Back in 2020 I bought a 2TB model of these Micron drives from Newegg for $110 (after taxes) when most 2TB were still $300+. These things are built like tanks, and I have it as a "Batocera" external drive. If I knew that they had them for sale in my area I would be trying to clear out their stock (or at least stop at 6 or 10).
These are still sold for 650-800 USD (used) currently on eBay.
Yeah now that people know about them, prices are climbing.
Aaaanndd they are sold out!!! Thanks a lot, buddy... was gonna secret stash this next week. Then this video comes out and poof all gone😅
No drives where at the store...
I got some intel P4510 2tb's for $90 apiece and all of them had 100% endurance left. For my expected use (proxmox VM storage) these things should last for quite some time. They do run hot if they aren't well cooled though so worth keeping that in mind with enterprise drives.
Ok what ASS bought all the Micron 5300's on CEX!
Thank you very much for your advice i managed to get the last one. Update,: the store accepted my payment and 3 hours later cancelled my order without any reason, at least they didnt tell me why.
Got a Micron 2300 NVMe 256GB inside an eBay used Thinkpad X13 Gen 1. Didn't think to really look into it until after your video. Surprised these can have higher numbers of writes compared to retail versions. Be on the look out for these corporate client, enterprise drives.
…annnnd it’s gone 😐
These have been in stock for over 6 months. You really spilt the beans on this one ...
the only concern is that these are enterprise ssd and based on jedec they only need to be able to retain data when powered off for 3 months compared 1 year for consumer drives
Glad this is available, it means it’s just a matter of time before more competition arises.
You clearly didn't watch the video.
Bummer. They're out of stock. And here I thought I could finally transition my server to flash memory XD
Great find, shame they only ship to the UK though. Tried to jump on it to finally replace my storage HDDs and was real disappointed 😢
Just make sure to put the drive in a spot where it gets a LOT of airflow because since it's server drive ot runs hot. I got similar drive for 230$ish and when put on the ssd slot behind motherboard it ran at 75 C during writes so i had to move it to the front slots below gpu for it to have enough airflow so now it tops out at 60C
California requires manufacturers to stock 5 years of parts to repair their products, or be willing to refund the full initial purchase price of the item. Last year I bought one of the Intel 3.x tb u.2 PCIe gen 4 nvme drives from 2018. For around $200. It was sold as used, but it had zero bytes written, the reseller had thousands, and the drive was rated for 5 drive writes per day for 5 years. It was listed as used so the manufacturer did not have to honor a warranty period.
What they made the law but only require it for "initial" buyer? But they still need to have the parts service?
The likely culprit for those was something like Netflix. Where content got loaded on occasion but read out a ton.
err... don't forget the 2 bits of overhead for error correction, that is why you lose 10% of the 600MB Sata connection and get 540MB throughput
Damn, they were really just giving away that drive. Sadly, doesn't look like any US stores did the same.
Wish I have one. This could hold all my game roms.
got one,its good not a scam
I have lots of Intel U.2 enterprise drives simply due to their endurance. Every once in a while, some server farm just dumps them on the market and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bunch of Intel DC-P4510s 8TB (USD$430 ea) and D5 P4326s 15.36TB (USD$800 ea) drives all new from their server spares. Right time, right place to jump on them and I'm confident I'll have them until their capacity is just too small to be useful to me.
SSD getting cheaper and HDD prices still the same the past 8 years.
Just grabbed one... can't let that go past to be fair, hoping the life on mine is decent lol
9110 TBW
Your link does not work and not seeing it even close to that price anywhere.
Let me know if you find these for £200, all I see now cost $750 at the lowest, $850 on Amazon.
Bummer don't have the money to order 4 of those to replace my aging nas hdd's.
Do they ship world Wide? Like can I buy on in the US?
I'll take 4 of them!
They have a very slow random write speed of just 11k IOPs. No good as a boot drive. Use for powered file storage only. Hard Disks are still unbeatable for unpowered file storage and backups.
Congrats!
Man, wish i could find these cheap ass reliable drives
Looks good cheers
I watched this last night they had 3 in stock today zero 😂
Can't find this for under $1000 anywhere ???
8TB drives brand new are typically in the $900 USD to $1100 USD range.
I searched for this and found out it goes for 600-800 Euros each!!
That sounds about right for brand new, but that's still on the cheaper end of things for 8TB drives.
@@eat.a.dick.google brand new? I thought they were used on ebay! thought the actual bran new drive would be in the thousands!
And sold out everywhere / 400+
still expensive when you wanna buy in bulk, i have 2x gaming pc's with very little space and 2x hdd server's each with 45TB of storage unfortunately its mostly spinning rust which is a problem when newer games want SSD as a min requirement, my higher speed drives are always running out of space, so an 8TB ssd drive in at least the server pc's would help alot but not at £230 each, but yeah that is a good deal when the average price is £500 each. why are they so expansive, you would think with nvme drive technology, ssd's would come down in price alot more. Next Best Option Seems to be Samsung 870 QVO at ££328 but thats a one off used price. Theres a load of £50 ish ssd's on aliexpress but how can i trust them to be real?
i want one. i bought two 2tb scam sata drives in a row :(
one kingspec drive that a lot of people swore by, but fucking got slower than a floppy disk in less than a month then eventually died. and a patriot burst elite, that i paid twice as much for because i wanted something that seemed reliable, and it was anything but that. it came with only 1tb working, then a few months later i zero-filled it and it worked whole, but the speed and latency is all over the place. it's sometimes slower than a hard drive and seems less reliable than flash drive, so it's too slow to run anything from it, and too unreliable to store anything on it. fucking useless. i'll never buy from "alternative" brands ever again.
Shit, I would've got at least 4 of them if I was fast enough and in UK
Does it exist in the msata version?
Does CEX ship to the US?
Wiki says stores in Mexico. Maybe they ship to the US, maybe not.
Link not working?
Link?
Nothing across the pond. The cheapest is like 600$ for a sammy SSD. Your UK link has the Micro 5200 for 335 pounds though; nearly everything else is OOS.
Yeah neahhhh....got an 8tb samsung and they're slow.....takes long to copy 100gb+
I legit have seen this on the window at my local Cex for the past few months, kinda wanna get it now
sold out
out of stock... : (
out of stock
Considering this SSD was made FOR SATA 200 for 7.68TB is a steal you have to consider in mind that SATA is old and a .32TB cut from formatting that is as close you can get to true 8TB storage a lot cheaper than getting Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus which cost 6 times more
what is a conshumer?/// lol
lucky son of a...
That’s very very expensive, 8TB is expensive over £140
You have to buy drives in pairs 99% of the time, so this is realistically £500 for 8TB
8TB drives brand new typically start at around £650.
I've got one of these in my workstation at work lol
Sold out maybe clickbait
The scam is u talking about a drive that u cnat.get so 8t doesnt.exist cheaper than 600 bucks..tha nks for nothing
I don't understand how sata reached it.s limits with 6gb speed where nvme drives go up to 3 4 gb a sec...read...
So the clickbait says £200 but the human says £230 but in reality the written text says £239.
So £240 vs 200 this idiot is clickbaiting by a sixth under the actual charged price.
