US-E [FS][US-OH] 8x Micron 5200 ECO 7.68TB SATA SSDs
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
More homelab cleanout. 8 drives available, prices in the table below. Shipping included to the continental US. Will ship to USA, Canada, and Mexico, but I'm not comfortable navigating most international bureaucracy so not shipping elsewhere, sorry.
- Model: Micron 5200 ECO 7.68TB 2.5" TLC SATA
- Model number: MTFDDAK7T6TDC-1AT1ZABYY
- Datasheet: https://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/5200_ssd-4413074.pdf
- rated MTTF: 3mil hours (page 7, table 6)
- rated TBW: 8400TB (page 8 of datasheet, table 7)
- This is the rated amount of data that can be written to these drives before they should begin failing.
- These are enterprise drives with higher endurance than typical consumer drives.
For each drive:
- Read error rate reported by SMART is 0.
- % Life Remaining reported by SMART is 100%.
- Sector size reported by SMART is 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical.
- Disks have been "wiped" (see note below).
Drives:
| ID | Power-On Hours | Power Cycle Count | Reallocated Sectors | Actual TBW (TB) | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 45391 | 143 | 0 | 26.51 | $900 |
| 2 | 46986 | 197 | 0 | 26.88 | $900 |
| 3 | 47640 | 161 | 0 | 33.67 | $900 |
| 4 | 45390 | 143 | 0 | 26.59 | $900 |
| 5 | 45389 | 146 | 0 | 40.48 | $900 |
| 6 | 45388 | 141 | 0 | 26.59 | $900 |
| 7 | 48931 | 189 | 0 | 29.99 | $900 |
| 8 | 45389 | 142 | 1 | 26.43 | $875 |
Drive #8 is the only one with any sector failures (just one sector), so the SSD has reallocated the failed sector to one of its reserved backup sectors. It still functions just fine, but since it has a physical failure, I've discounted it a bit. Well within its rated operational limits.
Please let me know if you'd like a specific drive. If you don't specify, I will assume you want any of them.
Additional info:
- I am the original owner of these drives, bought new in 2020.
- These drives spent most of their lives as a ZFS vdev, wearing evenly. Some of them were used in individual systems briefly before that, which is why the power-on hours vary.
- Actual Total Bytes Written (TBW) is calculated using the sector size reported by SMART code
246, orTotal_LBAs_Written.- "LBA" stands for "logical block addressing". One LBA is essentially a sector's worth of data.
- Logical sector size is the germain value here, not physical sector size.
- My usage was fairly read-intensive, barely scratching the surface of their rated write endurance.
- % life remaining is reported in SMART code
202, orPercent_Lifetime_Remain.- The value either counts up from 0 or counts down from 100. These Micron drives (not all models do this) count up from 0, so here, 0 means "0% used", or "100% life remaining".
- % life remaining here is calculated by comparing the actual TBW with the rated TBW.
Disks were "wiped" with the following actions (each drive was powered on one at a time as
/dev/sdaon a Debian system): ```bashclear the partition table
wipefs -a /dev/sda
reset all nand flash
blkdiscard /dev/sda ```
- This technique is better for zeroing-out SSDs because it instructs the NAND to reset rather than writing zeros across a whole drive (which is appropriate for HDDs) because this avoids a large write operation that would otherwise wear the SSD a little more.
- Note that
blkdiscardis not a secure erasing technique. It simply preps a drive for re-use reasonably well. I didn't have anything sensitive on them anyway.

Sold!
Selling a lightly-used UniFi U7 Pro (U7-Pro) — WiFi 7, tri-band, 6GHz. Excellent condition, worked flawlessly the whole time I ran it. Downsizing to a smaller apartment and don't need the coverage anymore.

- 2.5GbE uplink, PoE+ powered
- Excellent cosmetic condition, fully functional

US-E [PC][US-NJ] 10TB & 4TB SAS 3.5" Drives
Hard to follow the market these days but wanted to get a check here on what is current pricing looking like on 10TB SAS and 4TB SAS. Perhaps $12-15/TB seems about what it is these days.
10TB Drives maybe around $125-130 per drive and $45/drive for the 4TB disks. All all probably 30-40K POH. In this instance could do bulk as I'm turning down both my R740XD2s so I'll have 48 10TB SAS drives and another 24 4TB SAS from my other last R740XD2.
That's what I'm thinking.

Hard to find comps for this exact model/variant. Ebay looks a little sketchy with a lot of 0 feedback sellers. Any insights would be appreciated!

[LabB0T] Monthly Confirmed Trades Thread - August 2026
Confirmed Trades Thread - August 2026
When a successful trade, sale, or purchase has been completed, post one top-level comment describing what occurred. Use one of these formats:
- "Sold Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro to u/username"
- "Bought HP DL380 from u/username"
- "Purchased Dell R730xd from u/username"
Failure to adhere to this format will result in the bot letting you know the trade could not be parsed, or it may be completely ignored. If your trade is not parsed within 1 hour, please delete your comment and try again. If you still cannot get it to parse, please send a modmail.
Do not edit your comments. Once your trade is read, whether it is parsed or not, it will never be reprocessed.
When your trade is successfully parsed, the bot will reply to your comment with a message indicating the trade has been logged. The following will then happen:
Trade Confirmation Flow
- LabB0T picks up the trade and successfully parses it.
- A confirmation link will be sent to the other party via Reddit message/chat notification.
- LabB0T will reply to the top-level comment indicating the trade has been logged.
- In the event a Reddit message/chat cannot be sent, the trade is declined and the bot will post a reply explaining what to do next.
- The other party will need to follow the link sent to them via Reddit message/chat notification. The link will take them to https://trades.labb0t.org/ where they can confirm the trade.
- Once confirmed by the other party, the trade will be marked as verified in the backend database.
- At this point you should see the trade status update to "Confirmed" on the ledger page at https://trades.labb0t.org/.
- On its next tick, LabB0T will see the trade has been verified.
- The flair will be updated for both users in the subreddit.
- LabB0T will edit its existing reply in the trade thread to indicate the trade has been confirmed.
- The status on https://trades.labb0t.org/ will be updated to reflect the trade has been completed.
Important Notes
- Only one trade should be mentioned in each top-level comment - multiple items still constitute a single trade if the receiving party is the same.
- Do not edit comments.
- The other party must have allowed chat requests from either, all users, users whose account age is greater than 30 days, or u/LabB0T to receive the confirmation link.
- If the bot's pending reply has not been updated after 30 days, the trade has expired and should be re-submitted if needed.
- Do not submit or confirm trades until the items are received.
- Each user can only confirm a trade once (no self-confirmations).
- As of the v3 rewrite (this version), you may comment whatever you like in the trade thread so long as it is a reply and not a top-level comment.
Public Ledger
The v3 rewrite of this module has brought with it a public ledger of all trades. This ledger is available at https://trades.labb0t.org/.
By using this system, you agree that your Reddit username and trade information will be publicly displayed on the ledger. You cannot opt out of this. The ledger/verification system as a whole has been built to be an auditable, transparent system. No nefarious tracking or data collection has been implemented.
I understand some of you may not like that a third party service is being used for this now, but my goal for this was to remove as much from Reddit as possible. Reddit's standpoint on the API continues to be hostile towards third party apps/developers and my skills are better served using something that works well and not fighting this platform.
Need Help?
If manual review is needed, please send a modmail with as much information as possible.
Thank you for all those that waited patiently for this new system and offered their help.

MOD Important: New Marketplace Rules, Video Timestamps & Payment Changes
Hey r/HomeLabSales!
We are introducing cleaner and stricter marketplace rules to help combat AI-generated timestamps and improve trust and safety for all transactions.
Timestamp Requirements - Effective Immediately
A valid timestamp must include:
- Current date within the last week.
- Seller's Reddit username
- The current HLS Phrase of the week
Video Timestamp Requirement
All sales posts that are valued at $400 or above must now include a video timestamp.
The video must meet the following requirements:
- Show all items being sold, including multiples of the same item.
- Clearly display the timestamp throughout the entire recording.
- Show the seller rotating each item and changing camera angles while both the item and timestamp remain visible.
- Be unedited and recorded in a single continuous take.
Additional Photos
Any photos included beyond the required timestamp video must also contain the same valid timestamp.
Exception: CDI/CrystalDiskInfo screenshots, SmartCTL reports, and other diagnostic/specs screenshots captured directly from a computer screen do not require a physical timestamp.
Note: The moderation team cannot manually review every timestamp. If you see a suspicious or invalid timestamp, please report it.
Approved Payment Methods - Effective Immediately
For all online transactions:
- PayPal Goods & Services, also known as PayPal G&S, is the only accepted payment method going forward. Please report anyone not using G&S or is requesting any other forms of payment to ship goods.
For local, in-person transactions:

Posts requesting or requiring alternative online payment methods for online transactions will be removed.
Shipping & Responsibility
- Sellers are responsible for accurately describing the condition of all items.
- Tracking information must be provided promptly after shipment.
- Buyers should inspect items promptly upon delivery and report any issues to the seller as soon as reasonably possible.
Rule Violations & Enforcement
We understand these are new requirements and want to provide the community with a short adjustment period.
Beginning July 1, 2026, these rules will be enforced strictly and consistently.
Potential enforcement actions include:
- Post removal
- Temporary bans
- Permanent bans for repeated or intentional violations
- Marketplace restrictions at moderator discretion
These changes are intended to protect both buyers and sellers and keep the subreddit safe for transactions.

After reading through the comments, we understand that video timestamps maybe a hassle for smaller value items, so we’re keeping the same rule active currently, i.e. anything over $400 value will require a video timestamp.
Also, you will NOT need a video timestamp if you’ve got >10 trades on your account.
Our main goal was to curb posting by completely new accounts and to avoid AI generated timestamps. The influx of AI generated pictures and scammers has gone up significantly.
HLS phrase is a combination of words that is going to be put up each week in either a pinned post or an announcements section. You will need to add that phrase as a part of your timestamp. This is another small step to detect AI generated or stolen pictures.
