I had a strange experience with serverpartdeals. I bought two SAS hard drives, neither of which worked. Despite sending photos to customer support, I didn't get a solution. In the end, I lost the tax (€160) and the cost of returning the drives to the United States.
not so bad if you buy used ones from serverpartdeals
There’s honestly not a whole lot of reasons not to just stan ServerPartDeals through this price gouging era. SPD prices fair, they have good customer service, their product support has been outstanding, their warranties are excellent and legitimate.
I bought refurbished drives off serverpartdeals.
The warranties are extremely short compared to ServerPartDeals or goharddrives.
