Found a potential deal for the Australians among us:
eBay.com.au - Cisco / Samsung PM893 7.68TB SATA SSD UCS-SD76T6S1X-EV
4x units listed @ 769 AUD each, or 699 with an eBay+ code

In the listing the photo is of a drive with a manufacturing date of 2022, though that may not apply to all of them- and no details are provided about their current health; also, and sorry for being ignorant on the topic, but was Cisco one of the vendors that locks down their drives/makes it a pain to update the firmware?
(Actually are these even usable in a non-Cisco system)

They actually listed them at 679ea in the beginning and when i tried to haggle them down to 500 each they actaully jacked up the price ans said 679 was a pricing error ☹

I did a lot more research on these IBM drives after I pulled the trigger and wrorked out it was unlikely I could reformat one. (Thank you for pointing that out to me!). I ended up asking the seller if these were 512b otherwise I might want to refund them and then they just responded with "no 512b" followed by a refund.

Looks like maybe they could have been reformatted to 512b....

This seller is reselling their drives and formatted as 512b. You can tell because they even left on the sticker from the previous seller. I also had the same sticker on all my 3.84tb drives I got from them.

This is a link to the 3.84TB they resold from the same seller.

Used (heavily on servers). Physical and life of drives are good. Please ask before buying -- I can send SMART data. All drives are wiped / cleaned via Windows.

Final sales. No refunds."

Better take his advice. :p

Wow, almost 6PB written…

though that's the wrong screenshot (it's a 7.68TB drive, the one advertised is 6.4TB).

[edit] ...but the model number is indeed 6.4TB, so not sure what the size shows as 7.68TB. 6PB is a lot but this drive is rated for 35PB if you believe the specs.

Serial number on drive and the screenshot are the same. I suspect that the SN200 has tuneable endurance like the SN640/840.
