Sun StorEdge A5000 FibreChannel disk array

[robbat2]

[Edit 2006/Sept/23: Price dropped to $300 or make me an offer!]

I'm selling a Sun StorEdge A5000 FibreChannel disk array.

• 22x 9.1Gb 10000RPM Seagate Cheetah drives, hot-swappable
• Redudant power suppliess (3 total, needs at least 2 to run all 22 drives)
• Capable of 200Mbyte/sec full-duplex transfer (100Mbyte/sec up/down).
• 2x FibreChannel ports (upgradable to 4 ports, you just need to buy two more GBICs).
• In rack-mounting sled. Sorry, I don't have the table-top plastic fittings for it.

Weight is 60kg (130lbs) - For ease of moving it, you can remove the modules (22 drives, 3 power supplies, 2 fan units) and move all of those and the chassis seperately.
Electrical - Draws 6.6A @ 110V.

So you can use it, I'll also throw in

• Qlogic QLA2100F FibreChannel controller, 64-bit/66Mhz PCI, but works in regular 32-bit/33Mhz PCI slots (at half speed).
• 10ft single-mode fibre optic cable - you could go 0.5km with single-mode cable if you bought a longer cable, or up to 10km if you buy a multi-mode GBIC and that much fibre.

I'd like $800 Canadian for it, and you'll have to come and pick it up (Vancouver, around 35th and Fraser).
Present eBay pricing for this is $740+($90 shipping)+($200 for QLA2100F controller) = $1030.

If $800 is too much, make me an offer.

The unit will be available as of March 16th (I'm using it for a project right now, but after that it needs to go).
