    165 enterprise SAS drives::

    $12,375.00

    enterprise storage rack::

    $32,000.00

    That look on your face when you just crashed the only server with your entire company in it::

    Priceless.

    To be fair if that server has the only copy of the company's data that is severe incompetence and it's not your fault that the data is lost. However, those in power may not agree and you definitely will get the blame for that too.

    I love that some of the drives thought ejecting would be safer than going down with the ship.

    Old phones used to do this with the battery and it worked. All that energy got used sending the battery into orbit and your phone was fine to shoot literal 3 pointers with.

    Didn’t know this. It lost to openAI apparently.

    Have they had any of these play an actual human?

    Having recently invested in a homelab and experienced the cost of enterprise HDDs, this makes me weep and my pockets hurt.

    I will save this one for work!

    Definitely looks like a storage array. Based on how the drives look, maybe an EMC Clariion (CX or CX3 model)?

    If those are 2.5" SAS mechanical drives those servers were likely being shipped off to a recycler.

    SSDs and 3.5 inch drives are the only things still in active use in most places.

    Front loading bays though. Most 3.5 inch drives go in top loading bays. Do they looking like modern 3.5inch drives, or older ones?

    There are a number of chassis that have front loading 3.5" bays. I have one at home.

    Looking at the pic, each chassis looks to be 3U. I'd bet money those are 3.5".
