still not bad for the price for the capacity and speed, i've zip tied an 80mm fan behind my u.2 to pcie adapter and temps not exceeding 55C normaly stays in the 50C region and speeds are very good

I've just tried one of mine in a USB to U.2 adapter and it was only using about 10W of a 36W PSU when writing, so they're not ridiculously power hungry. It didn't scale down lower than that when idling though.
I don't have a way to measure power consumption when it's in my server, so that's the best I can do there.

the new unit turned up to have 0 reads and writes, the label bit dirty other than that like new..
and temperature goes towards 60C with no cooling at idle, so the normal version of this drive requires cooling same as the EMC,
and it doesnt work with my standalone pcie 4.0 to u.2 adapter but works with cabled one + sata power thats strange as EMC one works just fine with both....
same random 4k speeds on both except the EMC gives me higher on single 4k writes.... so you only lose some sequential read speed with the EMC one at pcie gen3 vs normal drive at gen4.

Sorry about that. They also said they can't tell how many of the 40+ sales that happened after I posted up and talked to a bunch of people were because of me and how many were people finding it naturally so they're not giving me much either.the seller hasnt replied on my £10 question Lol, probably doesnt give a toss once this was sold

Anyone tried spoofing the pci device ID (and possibly vendor ID) in order to get the firmware flashing tool to see it as a vanilla Samsung device?
I dunno what attributes the flash tools are looking at to determine if a firmware is compatible or if a drive is supported, but spoofing pci attributes is trivial using either opencore or Linux + vfio.

I think the tool uploads the firmware to the drive, then the controller checks the signature against the one stored inside it to decide whether to commit it to one of the three slots. Or at least that's what it seems to be doing.
