GBExperienced Sales staff and broad… Experienced Sales staff and broad selection of products was great. It did take a little while to ship the server I ordered and at $65 isn't cheap, but I understand that the server had to be configured and tested before being shipped. On future orders I will expect a 3 day lag in preparation and shipping.

GBOverall Happy with our First Purchase They didn't have the items we paid for in stock, but called us to get approval to provide another of a different brand. This process took several days and then the item was shipped. This process took far longer than expected. Therefore, minus one star for time of purchase to actually receiving the item being several days longer than expected. However, once the hardware was installed, it worked perfectly. Overall, happy with the product received and would buy from them again, provided we didn't the need something asap.

GBHomelab 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.

GBI 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.
