any one know off hand how many HD boards to make a LB
Just going from memory Olddude, I think last time I needed to know it took 7 or 8. I could be wrong though, just from memory.
I've got a couple hundred in the shop, so if you know the type I can weigh some for you.
thx. im bidding on 6000 of them
When I finish supper I'll weigh a bunch and get you a more accurate average.
took 15 to make a lb old dude just went through mine.
Here is some picks of different HD boards I have oldude on my scale. Hope these help.

PTS, thanks for the pics.
I was going to say they can vary significantly. If I was bidding on 6000 I would certainly use a conservative estimate for average weight.
Best of luck olddude, could be a nice score.
I would estimate 6000 hd boards at around 33 LBS. That would be my best guess.
I get roughly the same results as PTS. Only other note is some of the old SCSI boards were pushing close to 4 ounces. Better bid very conservatively.
Sorry about the earlier post error, memory just isn't what it used to be.
ya guess that was a noob question shoulda known better but im allowed one every 100 posts or so. :)
these are out of IBM and sun servers. the drives weigh in at about 2.2 lb ea. havent seen them yet. also bidding on the 6000 servers but they are going to be touch and go some are ui (2 processors up to u5 with 8 to 16 processors, mother boards are 3.5 lb ea. ram and copper heat sinks will probably be missing. as the IT guys from these companys tend to keep the ram and heat sinks for spares.
Well then that makes a difference I would imagine they are all scsi drives and might be a little heavier better board. Let me tear one apart and weight it for you quick.
im in good shape on the HDs price wise just trying to count my money :)
what a crazy business last week I was ready to all but chuck it all.
got the 94 Buick for $400but can't get my witc oops I mean wife to help me go get it.
thx zzzakly what I needed.
Are you selling to ARCOA now Olddude cause if so ill let you in on a secret.
that would be about 10 to an ounce, or160 to the pound. I think you missed a decimal point there.Quote:

We take all our hard drive boards off and we get an average of 1.35oz of boards for every pound of hard drives. So 6000lbs we would figure there to be 8100oz of boards. 8100oz of boards would end up being 506lbs of boards.Quote:
