They're WD WD3200YS drives and they've been sitting in a RAID array (media box) for less than 2 years. Can be used in an array or as standalone drives. Perfect condition, no noise, fast drives.

$150 for all 5. Sydney pickup only. PM me if interested.

hey guys they didn't sell ... One issue with the drives though that I found out. Since I had them connected to this raid controller their internal firmware has switched on staggered start up or something which means these drives now only work with this particular raid controller but not with normal sata controllers. It cannot be reversed.

This is a fault acknowledged by Western Digital and I believe they have about 2 years of warranty left in them so WD would most likely replace them for new drives.

I can't be stuffed sending them in so if anyone wants them for $100 they're all yours. Otherwise I'll contact WD and get them replaced and they will be up for sale for $150 again.

Just to clear up one thing .. they DO work but only when connected to a highpoint raid controller.

I have the controller to go with them for sale if anyone wants to buy the lot for $400. The raid controller (highpoint rocketraid 2320) itself still sells for $500 in most stores. Please PM me if interested.

I've checked the WD web site earlier today, 4 of the drives have 2 year warranty and 1 has 3 years warranty left on it. So shouldn't be an issue getting them replaced if you decide to hook them up to another sata controller. I'm in camperdown (sydney)

      Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP.

      No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently.

      I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
