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.

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.

I have been buying hardware from Unix… I have been buying hardware from Unix Surplus for a long time now, and I am happy with the prices and the service. They always have what I need

Called to check on order on a Saturday Called to check on order on a Saturday, and actually talked to someone. He checked on the order, realized that there had been an oversite, and got it resolved. Drives were shipped out Monday afternoon, and I received them Saturday afternoon (delay from UPS due to adverse weather). Got the drives swapped into the trays that my old Dell server uses, and they are working perfectly. Drives came wrapped in anti-static bag and bubble wrap bags and encased in more bubble wrap in the box. The even have labels stating the power on hours. 10/10 would buy from UNIXSurplus again.

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.
