What we stock
Most of what passes through is 2.5-inch SATA and SAS, with U.2 NVMe volume growing as all-flash arrays come off lease. Capacities run from small boot drives to multi-terabyte read-intensive models.
OEM-branded drives are a fact of this market: a Dell EMC, HPE, or Lenovo label over Samsung, Intel, or Kioxia hardware, with OEM firmware and often a carrier tray. Those get quoted by the OEM part number, because firmware and tray decide where the drive can actually be used.
With used drives, wear is part of the price. Two identical model numbers can sit at very different points of their rated endurance, so condition is stated on every quote. If wear data matters for your build, ask up front.
What to send
- Part number
- The number on the label. On an OEM drive that is the OEM number, not the Samsung or Kioxia part underneath.
- Interface
- SATA, SAS, or NVMe — and for NVMe, whether the slot is U.2 or M.2.
- Tray
- Whether you need the carrier, and for which chassis.
- Quantity
- Per line. Matched lots quote differently from singles.
Endurance classes
Endurance class is part of the part number and part of the price, so it is always stated on the quote. Three grades cover almost everything:
- RI
- Read-intensive Boot, media, and read-heavy datasets. The most capacity per dollar, the lowest rated writes.
- MU
- Mixed-use General virtualization and databases. The middle of the range on both capacity and endurance.
- WI
- Write-intensive Write caches and logging tiers. The least capacity per dollar, the highest rated writes.
Not sure which class a drive is? Send the part number and we will tell you what it is before you order.
