MZ-ILS15T0 Samsung PM1633a 15.36TB SAS 12Gbps 2.5in SSD EMC 118000556 - new $398 - zero feedback seller
that's a scam. The photos with the yellow background come from the seller egoods.supply. There are tons of such listings recently, high capacity drives sold for nothing from zero rating sellers:

I give you, the deal of a lifetime… :cool:
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?!

You are 100% getting nothing - Out of Curiosity, I Bought a Camera on eBay Knowing It Was Likely a Scam

People use eBay as some kind of cash laundering / float system via these 0 review sellers. They list something super cheap, then attach an unrelated tracking number to the order - takes weeks to get your money back.

I don't understand how eBay's fraud insurance is okay with their total lack of any kind of system to detect and prevent this scam.

You’re with 100 % certainty correct! But man I’d love for it to be true one day….

EDIT: This seller even has cameras for sale as well… :p

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.

$4000+ suggestion for a firewall,
omg-this-is-fun.jpg

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.

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.
