I've got 42x 14TB drives available. They have been used to mine chia only. I don't have SMART info on them right now because I'm lazy but I'll update this later with some info.

Mining chia involves writing to the drive to plot it, then it just reads from the drives. I've replotted a couple times so drives have been fully written to 3-4x times.

I'm asking $150/ea shipped. The more you buy at once the more I'm willing to be flexible on price.

Local pickup zip is 98270

Every drive will include a usb cable and a US power brick.

I currently run all of them on a single system with a pci-e card with 4x usb3 controllers on it.

Heatware is under lilfiend

I accept paypal F&F and crypto.

WIlling to trade for GPU's with 24GB or more vram. Also interested in 12x ddr4 registered ecc 32gb ram sticks.

EDIT: Drives have been in operation since about december 2021
2nd: they are 7200rpm, WD140EDGZ-11B2DA2

3rd: Below are some SMART samples. I'm not sure its reading all the smart info correctly but it is what it is.

First of all, it is farming and not mining. I am also interested :)

Just out of curiousity, was farming Chia profitable?

It was/is for me. With ~1.5PB I've been making ~$500/month after expenses for a while now. I got lucky a few times over, especially early on. I'm at the point now though that I need more space for my nas, requiring me to migrate to my superchia hardware.

$150/each sounds expensive...

They're cheaper at ServerPartDeals and those have 2 years warranty and are enterprise drives..

I'd much rather sell/trade multiple at a time. I'm willing to make deals.
