Less than month ago they were sold for $200 on eBay, almost not used. Later for $300 with moderate usage from Israel. 1.5-2x more for warranty sounds too much.

Got 2 drives from the same seller from Israel for $285 each. Offee was accepted fast. Heh, didn't know that 270 will work also.

3.84TB for $99?

HII is working fine with HPE Gen9 server and stock Lenovo firmware.

Recovered successfully. Flashed latest Lenovo MR firmware 50.5.0-1678. Probably in the same way I can flash Intel or Broadcom firmware and try enable NVMe.

Up to 960GB drives are 7mm height with single board, 1.6-3.84TB are 2 boards "sandwich" and 15mm height. My educated guess is that 1.6TB+ drives will run hotter.

Got 1.6TB manufactured 02/2018. Firmware version is M018.
