What if someone opened it up and pulled the PCB? You'd be buying a $417 hunk of aluminum.

They had these for a while, but always too risky for my taste.
A couple of weeks ago there was a great deal with dubbed "working" drives from the same seller, some of those worked, some didn't so for me this is a good indicator these are dead almost for sure (unless you have the right tools/knowledge/experience).

Ive noticed that this seller has alot of engineer samples and other pre-production items. this could be just that.

Avoiding them. Thanks.

I’m thinking of slowly building a box that has as much PCI-e storage as possible to do some DB vertical scaling tests for work. So I was scouring looking for cheap intel SSDs
There was a thread dealing with Fusion IO drives that you might be interested in then. https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...odrive-ii-1-2tb-drives-0-09-or-0-08-gb.23423/ People are getting 1.2TB drives for $115 each when buying 2+ drives. They won't work as a boot drive, but assuming you have the required PCIe slots you could try them.

yea this is almost def. an intel ES (engineering sample) drive. ive been watching this seller and he has tons of ES nvme drives, they seem like great deals, until you see the ES (or look at the pict w ES), then the price makes more sense. (im not interested in running ES drives, maybe ES cpus, but even that is pushing it)
