Well, I got my two "EasyStore" 8TB externals today, ... along with 3x Lenovo IX2-DL 2-bay NAS servers. Which I ordered off of ebay, for $55 + $20 international ship. They were advertised in USD, with location "Hungary". Sadly, they did NOT come with USA power adapter plugs. But I think I can manage, because I have some Seagate external drives I shucked, and I saved the power adapter paraphernalia that came with them, and I think that they had the same type of power adapter, so I think I can borrow the USA plugs off of them. IF I can find them, that is.
(Edit: Found them, but they don't have the removable prongs like I though, and they are only 12V 1.5A, and the Lenovo NAS units need 12V @ 3.0A. Darn.)
Edit: A buddy of mine suggested this, using the EU prongs, and then getting a physical AC prong adapter to go from Euro to USA style plugs and prongs. I ordered a few off of ebay for $1.29 ea. from China. I probably could have gotten away with the ones without the ground prong, for $0.99 ea, but I wasn't sure when I ordered.
I already own one Lenovo IX2-DL, and I like it, although, I am a little hesitant to put 8TB drives in, as they previously had a total RAW capacity limit of 8TB, although they have WD Red 6TB in the QVL, so I thought that recent firmware versions had raised that limit, and that a Red 8TB would just slot in, being essentially similar to the 6TB Red.
I've placed the two 8TB Red drives into the NAS, and booted it, and when I got the management screen, it listed 7.29TB "unallocated". So, I just set the name of the NAS, clicked "OK", and it's .... "processing". For the last few minutes. I don't know if it's trying to format the drive(s), or what. I'm going to try to shoehorn the newest firmware on, and then re-setup as RAID1, 16TB RAW, something like 7.29TB fomatted net.
Edit: It worked out. It recognized both drives, automatically set up a mirror arrangement, and I was able to update the firmware fine.
