  • 🔷Why can't I make a new post here in "The Marketplace"? 🤔

    All registered users can reply to other members' posts here in the Marketplace, to respond as potential buyer or ask questions of the seller.
    However, only members who have paid to become "Premium" members or "Patrons" can make a new "for sale" post here in Marketplace.

    Premium memberships can be purchased for as little as $10... a very reasonable fee in order to sell equipment here, far lower than the seller's fee would be on eBay or Audiogon or other sites. Our site doesn't sell ads or sell user's information. This small fee is the only source of funds for the site to offset the costs it takes to run the forum.

    For more information on purchasing a Premium or Patron membership, please see the Account Upgrades section of your user profile.

I recently sold my k-server 1500, and the person who purchased it negotiated a deal without the hard drives.

So, I have (3) 750gb k-discs for sale.

SOLD

These disks only have value as a full set; they are out of warranty, and K will not re-initialize them.
 
Thanks for the heads up!

Ok then....selling as a set $399 plus shipping & Pp fees.

So..., I have an out-of-warranty K1500 server with one failed drive. Can I use one of these drives? Does K-scape need to re-initialize it - really?
 
I'll defer to someone more knowledgeable, but my understanding is you can not use just one
 
Correct, you cannot replace your failed drive with one of these; the 1U server sees it as "used", and will not accept as a replacement.
 
Is the only option then to replace all disks? I thought the whole purpose of having the redundant proprietary RAID system that K-scape uses to guarantee that something like a failed disk would not render the system totally unusable.
 
No, you need to:

1. Purchase a new 6TB drive from Kaleidescape.

2. Purchase a used, but re-initialized (or, alternatively, one that has never used) disk.

3. Purchase a used, but in-warranty disk and send to Kaleidescape to be re-initialized (for a fee).
