Enterprise drives — NVMe, SAS and SATA SSDs, nearline HDDs

Send the part numbers and quantities you need. We quote today’s landed price on Samsung PM9A3, PM1653 and PM893, Kioxia CM6, Solidigm D7, Micron 5400, Seagate Exos and WD Ultrastar — QC-tested and shipped from our Shenzhen facility.

  • We check the drive against your backplane, caddy and controller before quoting — SAS and SATA differ by one character in the part number.
  • Every unit is powered on and booted on our bench, configuration checked against the spec, completeness and visual inspection, photos, logs and serials recorded — drive health data is recorded before it ships.
  • Original, OEM and refurbished side by side — you pick per line.

Tap what you need — all of these are coded and quotable today. Mixing vendors and conditions in one request is fine.

Not in the list?

We quote well beyond this list — add a line and type the part number, or paste the BOM you’re working from.

Paste a list (BOM)

One line per item. Part number first, then quantity and condition if you have them — commas, tabs or spaces all work.

Why we don’t publish a price

Drive pricing moves with the market daily, so a static number would be wrong by tomorrow. Send the part numbers and quantities — you get today’s real number.

Landed cost

Duty and delivery already in it, not a factory-gate figure.

The rate for the day you buy

Not last quarter’s — we re-check the market before every quote.

A number per condition

Quoted side by side, so you compare on one sheet.

What you’re buying

You pick this per line in the request, so it’s worth two minutes. The warranty is the same in all three cases.

Original

What it is
Vendor-boxed and sealed, with the vendor’s own serial and packaging.
Warranty
1-year hardwaresys warranty, on top of whatever the vendor carries.
Pick it when
Parts going into a server that stays under vendor support.

OEM

What it is
Vendor-produced parts supplied in bulk or in a tray rather than a retail carton — the same drive without the box.
Warranty
1-year hardwaresys warranty.
Pick it when
Volume builds where the carton is not the point.

Refurbished

What it is
Pulled, wiped and bench-tested: powered on and booted on our bench, configuration checked against the spec, completeness and visual inspection, photos, logs and serials recorded.
Warranty
1-year hardwaresys warranty — identical to the other two.
Pick it when
Spares pools, lab and staging estates, end-of-sale platforms.

Checked, boxed — then it ships.

Drives go through a test line before they are packed — health data recorded, photos and logs with the shipment.

Backplane, caddy and controller fit

A drive is only right if the backplane takes the interface, the caddy takes the form factor and the controller takes the drive. Tell us the server model and what is already in it, and we check the part against all three before the quote goes out.

Send your part numbers — we check them first

Paste the list you are working from. We verify each part against the platform it has to sit in and against the workload it has to carry, and we tell you where the configuration is wrong before it becomes an order. On one energy-sector project that recalculation took 25% out of the customer’s hardware spend.

Step 1

Pick your parts

You: Click the part numbers above or type your own — mix vendors and conditions in one list.

Step 2

Send the request

You: Add quantities and your email. No account, no obligation.

We: We check the drive against your backplane, caddy and controller before quoting. Answers come by email or WhatsApp — whichever you used — from one manager, not a chat thread with five suppliers.

Warranty & delivery

Warranty — 1 year from hardwaresys

Before it ships to you

Every unit is switched on first.

Frequently asked questions

By one character in the tail, which is exactly why orders go wrong. Seagate Exos X16 12TB is ST12000NM001G on SATA and ST12000NM002G on SAS; Exos X18 16TB is ST16000NM000J on SATA and ST16000NM004J on SAS. WD Ultrastar DC HC550 16TB is WUH721816ALE6L4 on SATA and WUH721816AL5204 on SAS. Send the full code, or tell us the backplane and we name the part back to you.

They carry the interface and the encryption level, not the capacity. At 18TB alone there are 000J, 004J and 005J variants — SATA, SAS and SAS SED. If your policy requires self-encrypting drives, or forbids them, say so on the request and we quote the matching variant rather than the nearest one.

Endurance, and one block of the code. MZ7L31T9HBLT is PM893 at 1 DWPD, read-intensive. MZ7L31T9HBNA is PM897 at 3 DWPD, mixed use. Same capacity, same form factor, different workload. Tell us what the drive will do and we pick the right one.

A U.3 drive runs in a U.3 backplane and, on tri-mode controllers, in a U.2 slot; a U.2 drive does not run in a U.3-only backplane. The Kioxia CM6 on this page is U.3, the Samsung PM9A3 is U.2. Name the server and we confirm the pairing before quoting.

Yes. A bare drive without the caddy your backplane takes is not much use, so tell us the server and we quote the caddy and any cabling as part of the same build.

Send the part numbers and quantities and you’ll have today’s landed price, usually within 48 hours, UAE business time. Drives ready in Shenzhen ship from there; air to Dubai is typically 3–7 days DDP.
