Comment on Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond

Is there a Lemmy community for trading surplus hardware yet?

I have a pile of HDDs and servers that I no longer use. I’ve transitioned almost all mine to 20tb+. I might have 8 or 10 4tb REDs laying around. They’re old, probably have thousands of power on hours in the smart data though.

Right on!

I don’t know if there’s a hardware trading community yet. I think one challenge is simply how lemmy seems to aim for more general anonymity than reddit, and the DM system isn’t really used to my understanding. (Except by “that fediverse girl” LOL)

Establishing a sense of reasonable trustworthiness to thwart bad actors might take some work.
