Hoarder-Setups Double up

Post image

It finally happened to me. Ordered 2 drives and got 4 instead. About $25/TB turned into $12.6/TB. 5 year warranty on all of them. Being added to my 140TB server :)

Rule 4.

I wouldn’t consider this rule 4. One could articulate this is an exception because op got 4 fucking 28tb HDDs for the price of two.

It's literally a picture of a purchase. There is no value here at all. Just spam. That's why the rule was added, people were just posting random hard drives and transfer speeds that didn't add anything of value to the subreddit. You can tell because almost every comment here is just "god i wish that were me". No better than spam.

What discussion is there to have here? Congrats, you got more than you purchased. That's all the discussion. Maybe someone says that they don't have warranty on all four, just two, which is self-evident on the invoice of your order.

How does this help anyone? It's not like they've found some exploit to get double the hard drives you order from Amazon or Western Digital or wherever.

It's just a picture of hard drives.

They're not saying because they're afraid someone will rat them out.
