Appears to be pre-production samples, but I've never seen this capacity under $200. Free shipping too. Quantity of 5.

OMFG, jump on these folks before I do!!! Good hell that's a nice price on these drives and here I thought a yr and 1/2 ago picking these up at $250 was a steal. Good find @BLinux

EDIT: Aww pre-prod/sample unit, still a steal. Get em' before they are gone folks!!!

would you not get so excited... i'm resisting the temptation to get these. hoping someone here buys them all up and i don't have to think about it...

Yeah I am tapped for funds right now due to cluster rebuild. I am out but a smokin' deal for sure even pre-prod IMHO. Not saying I'd put these into PROD systems but for lab/home lab hells yeah...all day long!

What's the catch for these? What are the main differences between production models and these?

bought 2TB SSD's from rakuten. They will work for what I need them to do.

Got one of these, it failed to work in single-channel mode and it's pending to see if it's actually dead since I havent tried it in a dual channel system (but with a direct attach cable it didnt work either). It's a nice paperweight for now.
