The link you have provided is for 960GB SATA 6G ssd... for 175USD that is pretty bad value if you ask me.

Isn't that a decent price for a brand new server grade SSD? I'm located in Poland and I can't really find anything cheaper... I'm also looking specifically at HPE drives because I heard that the dl380 can be quite picky about the installed drives and will spin up the fans if it doesn't like it.

G8 does although it is in increments around ~20% for disk behind fan cant remember the exact value since i got rid of it.
Though p420 raid will be always the most hot thing in it.

I see pm883 960gb on geizhals for 92€

It's a DL380 G10. If it doesn't care about it then that's great news for me, I have a source for some cheap S4500s. But I'm still curious if in general those drives from china are the real deal.

881975-B12 might be MK000960GWEZK so Micron 5100 Max. Good drives, I got a few non-HPE. But by now 7 years in storage.
