2.5-inch SATA Enterprise SSD | CDSG 4.4 DWPD is not bad! Seems to have PLP as well.
No Information on Flash Cells Manufacturer, Technology (MLC/TLC/QLC), not much basically.

Although from this I'd Infer a DRAM/Cache-Less QLC Drive:
Cost-effective, high-capacity SSD with enterprise reliability
The Daily Writes Per Day (DWPD) Figure has to be taken with a lot of small Grains of Salt since IIRC it heavily depends if you mean Sequential Writes or Random Writes (not sure if it's tied to Write Amplification, but from other Drives I think there was a difference of 4x ... 10x). I might confuse that with something else though, so do your own Research :) .

TLC according to a few other sellers specifications, but without a proper datasheet it's probably anyone's guess. Strangely hard to find good information about the drive. But looking at their other available products I guess it's not QLC. They also rank it Grade B but unclear why.

I've requested SMART data from the seller just out of interest to see if there's some more info.

For this price I'd think it's worth a "gamble" if you're US based and easily can return it if you're not satisfied.

now discounted to $135 per disk
Still quite a way up from that NetApp 3.84TB for 80 USD after Offer got accepted :confused: .

I'm mainly looking for U.2 or potentially M.2 NVMe Drives now, I won't pass on a super Good SAS Deal though :cool:.

Health is concerning.. 60% on most of the drives
from what I can tell: 64, 64, 64, 66, 70, 70, 79, 91, 91, 95, 99, 99.

65% health calls for a discount, but not a massive one, 79%+ not really. If I had any appetite for 3.84TB SSD I would probably bid at $1300-1400.
