Do you have one or two of these for sale, and where did you get those metal hard drive cases, and do they come included?

Hello Samir, how are you?
Yes, I have two sets available but selling them one at a time. The metal cases aren’t included — they’re just for display to show the condition of the drives.
But I can send you the Amazon link for the cases if you’d like.

Maybe you can donate it to Amazon so they can get their services back up.

If I donate it to Amazon, they’ll just use it to store another billion “are you still watching?” prompts.

Bump — cheaper than therapy and stores way more memories

Bump - Like-new NAS, single and ready to sync. Must value uptime , clean logs , and low latency relationships

Low hours meaning? Bump for interest.

“Hey! Low hours meaning under ~11k on one set and ~26k on the other — both tested, healthy SMART reports

Thank you. Dwelling on it.

“Still single, still syncing, still available .”

Bump! One full set just sold on eBay — the NAS packed its bags and left home
Still have ONE setup left here, and it’s cheaper than the eBay price (because fees make my wallet cry).
Grab it before this one decides to elope too!
Update
Bump! Both full sets on eBay got snatched up within 2 hours — those NAS units packed their bags and left home faster than a teenager with a driver’s license
