This came in yesterday, or I guess I should say we picked this up yesterday. Rolled it right off the data center raised floor and into the truck. A huge EMC Symmetrix disk array. I scaled it up and the total weight for all 7 cabs was a whopping 14,890 pounds! That's almost 7 &1/2 tons! There are well over 1000 HDD in the unit, I haven't even tried to count them. I did see some solid state drives and a ton of 1 terrabyte drives in there. Gonna be a busy guy for a few days to get this knocked out as there are two more arrays behind it coming out soon. I love my job! :)

Really! What's up with that? DKW the photo is upside down. Oh well.

If you click on the picture it loads right side up and gives a good view of the size of those puppy's. Cool nice grab. :mrgreen:

You should do real good on that one.
 
Will you be reselling various other parts from these disk arrays other
than the drives? There should be good money there. :)
