6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card.
The total of this is : 88 x 8TB SAS disks 44 x 16GB RAM sticks (half 2133, half 2400) 6 x v3 Xeon e3 2630 6 x v4 Xeon e5 2640 3 x 10 GB PCIe dual port cards 12 x 1U heatsink
I’m really lucky to have all of these, even if I don’t have a use for all of that for now (except some of the disks)
EDIT: Forgot to mention: All of this for free, I work in a datacenter!
Sheeeeeiiiiiitt
God damn I’m jealous.
88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?
You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I’m curious to know the total cost.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention: All of this for free at my work, I work in a datacenter!
My Jellyfin is also running media from recycled HDDs from work. No where near this impressive haul, but it was nice to be able to get a solid 10 TBs for free to get my server going.
Do you think it’s possible for old decommissioned drives to be donated in a compliant manner?
Reference for others:
ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard to manage information security. … It details requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) – the aim of which is to help organizations make the information assets they hold more secure. Organizations that meet the standard’s requirements can choose to be certified by an accredited certification body following successful completion of an audit.
I thought I was living large with my two 12tb drives I bought for $86 each lol.
Probably here : https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/hard-drives They sold 18TB drives for 100€ last months
While thats an awesome pile of storage, I weep for your electricity bill.
I also work in a data center, I can’t take anything :(
We have a hard drive degausser and shredder. Lucky bastard taking things home
Yep yep, same. Old droves get destroyed. My word that I’ll wipe the drive is apparently not enough.
For security, yes, your word is not enough. This would be confidentiality in the CIA triad. I still understand your disappointment seeing probably many dozens of drives get destroyed. I get the majority of drives by scrapping old PC and it pains me to see what people will throw out.
