Selling 5 Western Digital 8TB Red hard drives (three model WD80EFZX and two model WD80EFAX).
These are the red label drives shucked from easystores last year, I no longer have the enclosures.
They were used in the Drobo that was replaced by a new QNAP NAS, no issues with the drives and only moderate hours/usage (about 10k hours).


Drobo 5C - $275 like new condition with the cling still on it and all cables, shipped in original box/packaging (under warranty until 6/30/19, Drobo doesn't do warranty xfer though).

Drobo are dicks about warranty? So basically no warranty? That's a bummer.

Yeah unfortunately they only honor the original purchaser and only if registered in the first 30 days (which I did).
Even the business level iSCSI units you can't get second hand coverage on, and heaven forbid if you forget to extend it and let it expire if you did buy it new.
Their policy in the past is you can't extend it/renew it unless the warranty active, even if you're the original owner (though they might have pity if its only a few weeks out, we tried a year after it expired to no avail).

Thats one of the few drawbacks to their equipment, the 5C is a great little unit overall for the cost though.
I used quite a few of the 5n and 5d as IT iso stores and backup locations for small business customers years ago with almost no issues.
The major issues I did have were solved by plopping the disks into an advance replacement unit and letting it recognize the data, very user friendly.
 
ttt, one drive and the drobo left, (will likely list the drobo on ebay this weekend)
 
All drives Sold, ttt last chance for anyone for the drobo, make me an offer I cant refuse
