I ordered the `Dell 5RJND Samsung MZILG1T6HCJRAD3 MZ-ILG1T60 PM1655 1.6TB 2.5" 24Gbps SAS SSD' listing expecting a cancellation, but also got a shipping notification! Not sure when I'll have a 24Gbps SAS controller (finally got a Tri-Mode, but it's just 12GBps for SAS). Considering the endurance rating (8760Tb) it should be still be going when I do finally get one though.
No one's eBay rating is worth the $60k+ this is going to cost them. The shipment weight is all messed up too, definitely not multiple SSDs in an envelope.
A seller with this high praise on eBay, do you think they will take the chance and try a scam but risk bad reviews? Like only sending the drive tray perhaps? I don’t know..
I'm not accusing them of operating a scam, but a mistaken listing that's actually something else in their inventory system, entirely possible. We'll have to see what arrives. 0.23kgs is not even two drive caddies...
Mm, possible of course. I just think that a serious operation would’ve rather canceled the orders due to ”obvious” malfunctioning pricing and not sent something out. But that is of course IF they noticed it, it could be a drive tray we bought from their systems point of view I guess.
We’ll see what arrives! I guess I’ll wait and see what it is I’m paying to get shipped over the pond..
Apparently the weight shown in shipment facts is whatever weight the shipper declared when creating the label, the actual package weight can be different. Weird that FedEx doesn't update the shipment details to reflect the actual package weight after the origin scan.
Hopefully some US buyers will update the thread in <48 hours when they receive the packages.

Remove the 0 and that number is still gone be exaggerated.
But it tends to be less about rating and more about strikes when sellers ship out booboos like this.
(If they feel a rating is wrong or unfair ebay will also just remove it for them)
One of the vendors we get cards/optics from just put 1gram on all their letter shipments, does not get corrected.
Unless you exceed weight/size limits so they flag it on a terminal it does not make much difference for fedex, volume clients pay a flat rate regardless.
Its just added work with no upside for them to start correcting it if its not so heavy/large that they can upcharge it as a package.

I suggest you open a dispute with eBay and help bankrupt those lying PoS business that do that.
I think that they can cancel the order (according to their/eBay's Terms of Service) , but they shall then take the hit and not blame the customer for THEIR cancellation.
I didn't want to as I have zero use for them, but at that price I ordered a couple dozen. I know a buyer who will likely take them in bulk for 4 or 5 times the price, and with the difference will buy some more useful, larger drives. I am only in the market for 7.68TB+ (SATA/NVMe) and 15.36TB+ (SAS) drives, at the right price. And purely for the fun of it to be honest. Have just finished assembling a 300TB all flash NAS (all 7.68TB SATA for power considerations) at home. This thing will die of natural causes before I fill it.
Sure, it was meant to be hybrid SSD+HDD so I filled all the space I could find in a Fractal Design 7 XL with a bit of 3d printing and custom power cables. Then I retired the HDD, hence the big empty space at the front, but this will be filled with SAS SSDs that I expect to move from another server (target is 400TB!), and which will benefit from being right against the fans. The nice thing with SATA SSDs is that they don't really heat up, even under load, so as long as there is a little bit of cooling, they will be fine and I can stick them in any corner where there is a bit of room. I just wish SATA would come in 15.36TB size! Xeon 3rd gen MB, a bit of an overkill for a NAS but I needed the PCIe lanes.
