I ordered two. I'll update with what I end up with. The seller gets good reviews, so I would think it will be a HUSMR7664BDP301 but it's also half the price of the next one on eBay, so who knows!

The title seems to be the exact same as this listing from another seller. I mean hell, even if they say they have 20% life left that is plenty since this will not be in a data center.

The seller seems to be a IT hardware recycler, so the SSD probably came from some enterprise. If you get the model advertised (if!), then I think it is safe to assume it will be in a good state with >90% health.

Just got my drive today, it was a bad picture. I will throw it in the PC later on. A "MAJOR" tip for everyone, NVME 2.5 drives run extremely hot. They need a fan blowing on them.

That's the case with most u.2 drives, they are designed to be used in a datacentre environment with a big flow of A/C cooled air.

Did yours work? I got mine today, and I’m trying to get it to boot in my R740 plugged into a PCIE to NVME card which holds two drives so needs bifurcation, and I keep getting a PCI-E error. I ordered a single U.2 adapter card which should work in any PCI-E slot which will be here tomorrow and I’ll see how that goes. I’m kind of worried that the listing was supposed to be for parts only based on the suspiciously low price and no return policy, with the seller accidentally listing it as used.

If that’s the case I’ll just send it back to get my money back, and if I have any trouble eBay will be on my side.

Hilariously I only received one drive, the other drive was a 1.2TB SAS drive as pictured. I contacted the seller. I’ll see how it goes.

Good luck with the second drive. Okay, I got it hooked up and will run a sector format to see how bad it is.
Specifics:
Motherboard: Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE (SlimSAS to NVME port)
Cable: - to - (Look for - to - on amazon)
Okay, testing drive right now, only issue, I find it hard to believe it's been on for 18 hours with power-on count of 45.
With this, I realize whatever I store on here, make sure I have a backup.

Huh, 18 hours eh? Can NVMe SMART data be reset like hard drives? Interesting.
Mine came in a Cisco caddy.

Mine came in a cisco caddy also. I been running a scan to see if there was any file system on it. Drive is completely Zero'd out. I am stopping the scan at 32%. No errors so far. Doing the long version Format now.

Also, I never seen Servethehome delete part of msg. The cable I got was SFF-8654 to SFF-8639.
It is Dilinker cable with and can be found on what I mentioned above. My motherboard supports SlimSAS to NVME.

I got the other NVMe U.2 adapter. I tried the drive on both the R740 and my old R730 and got the same PCI-E training error, so it for sure seems that one is bad. They sent the second one out yesterday, so I’ll see what that brings.

My second one arrived, it works great, it is basically brand new. The first one won’t boot and of course there is no replacement, ughhhh. Ah well, at least I got one of them.
