(Edit: the seller listed more items)
I ordered a few of these for a project from an eBay vendor. Micron M5100 SATA m.2, 960gb enterprise SSD. They do have some power loss protection with an array of 24x 47µf backup capacitors on board. While it isn't an exceptional drive, it is a good reliable sata SSD and since I'm putting them in an icy-dock, the PLP capacitors are a nice touch. I mounted each in a M.2 to SATA drive conversion container (about $8 each) and put those in the icy-dock trays. Don't intend to be hot-plugging them, but since it is possible, PLP is a nice-to-have.
This particular SKU does not have TCG encryption security in spite of the datasheet and the ebay description.
I received 4 drives, each appeared new, with no dust, not even under the label on the sticky side. Micron Storage executive showed the SMART info with about 10 hours of power on time, and only 3.9TB of writes, meaning they were erased twice and 100% life left. Firmware level matched the sticker.
Updated them all with Micron StorageExecutive software, ran self tests and scans and all checked out fine.
$79 for a 960gb SATA drive is not much cheaper than a consumer drive, but for an enterprise quality drive with PLP capacitors, a pretty decent deal.
