LOL! This is 100% scam.I give you, the deal of a lifetime…
Lot of 2 Solidigm D5-P5336 122.88TB OPAL, FIPS U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Enterprise SSD price is set at 1772.99 USD. They’re even open to offers..
If my math is correct then that’ll be price of a whopping 7.2 USD/TB for PCIe gen 4 NVMe storage. Not bad…
I think the cheapest I’ve ever bought spinning rust for is around 5 USD/TB.
1 sold and 3 available at time of posting. Who dares to take a chance and hope to not receive a brick?!

Did you test the Drive also via an HBA such as LSI 9211-8i ?
Did you try e.g. the "Crucial Power Reset Trick" ? That was originally for Crucial Consumer SSDs, not sure if it's also applicable to Micron SSDs. Maybe they do, since they share same Flash Memory Manufacturer and likely similar Controller.
About the Serial Number, to be fair, there appears to be 2 CrystalDiskMark Screenshots, both for the same Serial Number Device (Page 1 & Page 2 basically).
Granted he could have taken a couple other Screenshots and forgot/decided to not upload them for whatever Reason (that would have brought the total to 6, unless he included the Picture of the Device with the other SSD).
I find it a bit weird to believe that you got scammed, given that the Seller has a 100% Review Rating. Sure there are probably Ways they can suppress bad Reviews by contacting eBay Customer Service and use whatever Excuse they can find, but it's probably some Mistake or he forgot to test it (maybe it was already packed and didn't wanted to unpack+repack etc).
It's a market, things will inevitably sell at whatever price the market will bear...eBay sellers are such thieves.
You really should be dumping on AI companies if anyone...
I dump on the AI companies every day. Even Supermicro sold us out, the lower end of the spectrum no longer exists, I had the eshop give me a $4000+ suggestion for a firewall, and that was before memory or storage was added, just a board, chassis, and the lowest processor in the series. All they really want to sell is now the giant AI servers that make them so much profit.
I had my own fair Share of bad Sellers. From those that don't test, those that ship the wrong Item, pack stuff like **** (5mm cardboard anybody ?), etc.
Just saying sometimes People are lazy
. After that, don't attribute to evil what can be attributed to incompetence.
My "firewall"...is still running on a $20 motherboard (Gigabyte thin mini-ITX B75TN) with an ancient i5-3570s...and handles 10gb symmetric with more than enough room to spare. I don't do IDS etc on it, but do have a couple of other things including wireguard and OpenVPN enabled on it.
All in all, maybe $50 worth of hardware.

I received a lot of Servers/Motherboards with unknown iRMC / IPMI Passwords. Boot Debian/Ubuntu, run IPMITOOL and reset. That's the easy Part IMHO, it takes less Time than complaining with the Seller.
Most Switches have a small Reset Hole.
I'm not sure which kind of Device you are referring to specifically that is so problematic to reset
. I'm not saying I don't believe you or that it doesn't exist, but I don't think I ever came across it personally.They just suggested their lowest priced bare bones server, it would have been way overkill. I spec'ed it up for a storage server and came out with about 6TB after configuration, 64gb of ram, low core count processor, and almost $10,000. And it was still SATA SSD, not even nvme. I think it was $1000 additional for a dual 10g sfp+ card so I didn't need to buy copper modules for the other end.
X10SSL is still my nas/homeserver. It's more than capable. I am moving to DDR4 era but just because I got the RAM and mobo for cheap.
The e3-1231v3 still runs basic llms on CPU only.
OTOH, one can still find 8GB DDR4 for 25 euros/$30 which is not bad for a basic firewall
OK, so it works now ? Weird indeed, but I thought it was worth a shot.
For the record I had a couple old Crucial MX100 and Crucial MX200 SSDs that had some Issue and in my Case it didn't work back then.
But as you see, sometimes you (or somebody else) get lucky
.Check the SSD Firmware for Updates (DELL and Micron are usually quite good with this, unlike Samsung/Toshiba) then probably do a Secure Erase.
EDIT 1: how does
smartctl look ? Is everything fine ? Record it both before and after a Secure Erase and/or Firmware Update just to be sure.

Which specific Sophos devices do you suggest? I may want to get one for my lab to retire an old HP T620+ You can PM me if you like, that way we don't continue to mess up the deals thread. I'm running OPNsense in lab and production now, business version in production.
And maybe I just keep running my old Supermicro X11 based device, but it's getting on 10 years now and I start to worry about things after being in use for so long. In my lab it would be fine, but in production I'm not so casual. This is especially true when everything you do in a day reaches out to the web for something or another. Creative Cloud for every time to launch it, all the microslop stuff we use, Avid ProTools even if you have a USB iLok, etc. When the internet gets clogged, bad things start happening, and we've had that recently which forced an upgrade to 2gbps.
Weird indeed.
Was there CMOS Battery inside or what
? I would expect, just like BIOS, that if you unplug the Battery then it would just clear everything.But yeah, on a Switch, the Reset button does everything. Except possibly resetting the
uboot Bootloader Password, but not many Users (unless running OpenWRT) will probably need that.If it comes to worst, you need to open and use a Serial CH341A Programmer or similar, dump the Firmware,
binwalk and take a look with ghidra or something like that. Or flash a new one. But why bother, when that's not something that was agreed in advance (buying e.g. a Device "For parts or not working") for a very low bargain Price.

Crazy times we're living in right now.
It is, but also as a developer I see huge productivy increase. The AI thing is real, I can now give Claude the specification, and its usually a correct implementation that I do not need to correct. Writing code has become 10-1000x cheaper, this will impact everything.
For an experienced developer, sure. For some dude who does know nothing and stops the moment it seems to be working it's dangerous. Let’s see where this goes once the big AI companies are forced to deliver on their investments. Right now it's still like we're getting free drugs at the corner.
