I went down the #ebay #ebitch hole last week, and found a #computer #workstation with a #Supermicro X8DA3 #Motherboard and a #Tableau T3458is #tableau #forensic Bridge

Shipping across the continent though - and how do you think it was packed?

#poorly

The damage to the plastic top of the workstation case, which is now falling off - though still connected by the wires going to the #USB & #firewire ports in the lid. Some loose cables and screws fell out when opening the case.

Reached out to the seller for #return and they offered to send a replacement. Waiting to see what is next...

Success! found an "Sonnet Tempo SATA Express Card 34 with 2 eSATA Ports" over on #eBitch aka #eBay

A good seller experience - timely shipping, arrived promptly - packing could be better though, wrapped in a #walmart #wallyworld bag inside a cardboard box? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

The #Expresscard was auto-detected in #windows10 on the #lenovo #R400 as a "Silicon Image SiI 3132 #SATALink Controller", drivers were pulled from online and installed, and I was wiping an old hard drive in my #eSATA drive dock in minutes.
