Latest feedback indicates that someone purchased a s3500 and did not receive the correct drive...

Hmmm 1 cent international shipping with no estimated delivery date seems suspicious

 

[MiniKnight]

I'd pass on that.

Thanks pointing this listing out. I traded PMs with the seller, asking about the negative fb, and he had a reasonable explanation (he said that he shipped a 300GB instead of 240GB by mistake but it was in buyer's favor). Not sure I believe that explanation but paypal offers buyer protection of course. I am going to give it a shot but am proceeding cautiously.

I buy 2 from this seller from previous listing also at 49.99$ and 0.01 shipping. One with 17 hour and second with 18 hour of function.
Previous listing was only for 4 drive. Assuming that are no way to modify SMART information I'm very happy with tis drive and price.
I'm from Europe.

L.E Was not the same seller, but the name was aprox. the same.

Another offer by that seller SK Hynix 2.5" 480GB SATA3 6Gb/s MLC SSD HDD HFS480G32MNB-200A OEM
Can't really find much about that ssd. Anyone knows how much data written it is supposed to last and what's the read/write speed?

EDIT: Nevermind, snatched the last one for $78. The seller didn't have any info about the disk either though. Should be great for my grandma's pc

 

[Boddy]

Not much information on this drive. Could be a Lenovo OEM.
EBay seller lists drive as SATA.
But this site lists it as a SCSI drive, if so your grandma's PC may only accept a SATA drive (Unless you put an expansion card that can read SCSI (SAS) drives?)
Google Translate

 

[typek]

Did not see that coming. Nope, my grandma is not that equipped If it's SAS, I'll put it in of of my servers to run useless non critical stuff from it.

 

[epicurean]

so what's the verdict on this seller from Israel?

In my case all went good and I received a working 480 GB sata ssd. Even managed to provide edited prove of payment to customs and avoided paying any import duty and VAT.
