I grabbed it. Ironic that I couldn't checkout with a Singapore address (neighboring countries!) but had to use a US freight Forwarder!

@gigatexal it's SATA SSD not NVME.

Some INTEL SSD that are ES (this one is) don't let you update firmware... so a rather risk if there's an issue with Firmware you're out of luck. Some have reported they can update Firmware... YMMV.

I'll be using it to store "throw away" VM images. So if it dies, no big loss. Just as long as some decent (better than spinning rust raid) performance I'm a happy camper!

I'll test the firmware update when I get the drive.

(Btw, msged the seller, he relisted it so I could use a SG address - so all good!)

Glad I was able to help - it's already been picked up and you should have it with you by tomorrow evening :)

Hey guys, I have a couple more listed if anybody's interested.. the BIN price is a little higher but BO @ 399 will close it out for STHers!
