Nah, I went to hundreds of meetings while working at SanDisk and people always called it "ScanDisk"
"And here to speak to us today is Dave from ScanDisk..."
Me: .... "San... San Disk..."

So the 3TB arrived with a busted surface mount cap (bottom right of card). This is a common thing since those caps are bulky and get bumped off with a lot of handling.
The heatsink and NAND are a bit scuffed up, probably from this thing sitting in a parts bin.
The good news is that I temporarily taped this cap in place to verify that the card is good. I then soldered the cap on and put it to use.
Only 30TB written to this thing and it easily has a wear life of 30PBW, so it'll be in use for a while.
I don't have a hot air station, so I had to make due with a hair dryer to get some heat into the board and used my tiny Weller iron to feed some solder onto it. Even with flux I couldn't get it to flow under, but this is plenty good for my lab.
