Homelab Hero I’ve used UnixSurplus for a variety of purchases. Most notably the r720xd which I still use in my homelab. It was a first time enterprise hardware purchase and they provided technical services alongside the purchase of the machine which included flashing the HBA for ZFS and providing ease of mind with the purchase by verifying my target platform FreeNAS would function. Since then I’ve bought a variety of products such as RAM and NICs. At the time I wasn’t as well versed in the hardware and ecosystems, and they certainly provided the expertise to help with that. The packing was excellent and ensured a safe and secure delivery.

Slow to ship but, everything else A++ These folks know how to package hard drives well and securely. 0 drives arrived DOA. Customer service in regards to price matching their eBay shop for a bulk order was A+ as well. My only complaint is that it took a week for them to ship my order. Sure amazon has spoiled us all with fast shipping but c'mon 3 days tops Unix Surplus for an order that does not involve a whole server build (s) and testing. I ordered on an early Monday morning and the order shipped until Friday. According to the testing verification stickers on them, they were all tested on the same day so it does not appear that testing the drives is the culprit to this delay. Overall however, a definite positive experience and will definitely return for more.

I have bought five servers I have bought five servers, four of which I have received and were in perfect shape. The fifth server did not arrive, but they quickly made things right by tracking it down and offering to send a new one if I did not receive it within three days. Good company and great customer service.

I keep coming back I keep coming back because prices are reasonable for their equipment. Mostly, the description of the product is accurate. However, one time I received a server that had a HBA card with a bad port. They made it right by sending out a replacement card. Also, they gave me a system with the correct amount of RAM. But when I tried to add more RAM sticks to it, it didn't work because one of the motherboard slots was dead. It ended up being ok because I put the new DIMMs in a non-standard slot, which worked. But just know that what the equipment is rated for in the posting may be its limit. Upgrading beyond that is not supported and the company will not automatically provide the results of their own internal test reports.

Large selection of used enterprise IT equipment Fast shipping, product exactly as expected, good prices. Great place to buy used enterprise IT equipment.
