  • 🔷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 have two 5U servers fully loaded with hard-drives. I have just over 700 movies already on the two servers and the control panel says I can load another 300 movies. I also have the DVD burner and five players. The system is in perfect condition, but two years old. Software is the latest version upgrades by Kaleidescape.

Welcome to the forum Getti.

When you mention the "DVD Burner" I think you mean the Kaleidescape Reader.

A few questions that will help the many owners and dealers here.

1) Are you willing to separate the components or do you only wish to sell everything as a bundle?

2) Do you know the disc configurations of the servers? How many of each size hard disks are installed?

3) How much are you asking?

Also - one of the dealers here can tell us for sure, but I believe the drives need to be erased before resale, unless you also have all of the original DVDs that are loaded on the server. Even then, I believe that the servers or drives need to be reset by Kaleidescape before the system can be transferred to a new owner. but again, I'm not entirely sure.

Good luck selling it, there will probably be interest here...

Indeed, I'm looking for some 1TB drives if you have em (I imagine this older setup has 750 or lower though)
 
Josh is indeed correct. If the content on your servers is being transferred to the buyer, you MUST provide the actual DVD/CD along with the server. Alternatively, you can delete all content by using the normal two step process (select the movies/music and move to the trash, then select permanently delete to completely remove from the system) before the sale.

If you sell the drives individually, then K needs to wipe the drives, because that disk has already been "associated" with that server. It needs to be put back into a neutral state (for lack of correct terminology) before it can be used in someone else's system.

Please also keep in mind that individual drives (disks) should never be removed from a server, especially if content has already been written to the drive. This is because of the method used to store content and RAID.

Click to expand...

He is selling 5U servers so you are correct, there are no 1TB drives for 5U's. The largest drive available for the 5U is the 750 GB, and unfortunately that will not change.

System SOLD!
