I'm trying to guess what these may be:
I'd initially thought they might be disk shelves owing to the height (about
4U?) and "bland" front panels. But, they are way too deep for that. Anyone recognize the distinctive red "badge" on the front?I'm guessing these are more of the same, viewed from the side:
Note the apparent parting in the top cover.
I'll have to see if there are enough other curiosities to merit a drive over, tomorrow...
Off-topic troll...

Edward Hernandez, the Astraweb nym-shifting forger is trolling off-topic and other posts with someone else's ID, then replies to its post, strangely, as if it were replying to someone else.

Disk shelves is correct.
slightly different paint job here:
The look like disk shelves, probably with servers built in.
Link - Datadirect (supermicro) mining server 2 x E5-2665 8 core 2.4ghz
32gig 2 X 1TB | eBay -Agreed.
They look interesting. The also look like they would be louder than I want at home.
All that spinning rust in a single box is definitely "interesting"! :>
They aren't intended for my own use (I already have ~10 shelves in my lab but never run more than one at a time -- too many BTUs!). Rather, they are intended as "appliances" for various groups with which I'm affiliated to sanitize/initialize drives, "in bulk".
E.g., it takes about an hour, per pass, to process a 250GB drive. So, a write followed by verify takes about 2 hours. If it takes ~2 minutes to mount a disk drive in a carrier and install that assembly, then it will take ~2 hours to prepare 60 such drives. At the end of that time, the first drive inserted will be completed and need to be removed. Assume 2 more minutes to unmount it and then you're needed to remove drive #2 -- which has now finished two passes.
[I.e., it would be foolish to prep all of the drives, install ALL of them and then start the appliance; better to let each drive start being processed as it is physically available to do so]
nice flip phone photos. Maybe you could try again, in focus and with images over 32x24 pixels in size.
Indeed.
I would change the paradigm slightly. If I could, as if the interfaces worked, and the bandwidth could keep up, I'd use something like multiple USB connected SATA (or SAS if such a thing exists) adapter(s) that I'd move from raw drive to raw drive as I went through the pile.
Just my 2¢ worth.
