I was able to buy 3 of them at $20 each. I already got the drives and they seem to work fine but they are very thick so they cannot be used as a standard 2.5" drive. I think it is a good deal at .05c per GB.

I think smart info is wiped for these drives and I was not able to see TBW for these drives, perhaps I don't know where to look. I used smartctl over usb connector.

If they wiped the smart data to hide the fact that the SSD is worn out, and are offering it as "used" which ebay defines as fully functional., that's deceptive.

Ebay sent me a 10% coupon that was valid from Mon to Wed.

If the 10% coupon is still valid, I would go for more HP 400gb SSD.
It is a $20 400GB SSD with 7PB write endurance, perfect scratch or boot SSD.

I already owned 10 x SSD.

The XPG SX6000 Lite link that you posted, it is a scam or hack account.
My best guess is not a real sale.
I dunno, adata drives are pretty cheap:

XPG SX6000 Lite M.2 2280 512GB PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 Internal Solid State Drive SSD 842243018172 | eBay

XPG SX6000 Lite M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 Internal Solid State Drive SSD 842243018189 | eBay

I mean, 2/3rds off SEEMS like a scam, but on the other hand... $40 off doesn't necessarily, especially if someone had a bunch and just wanted to offload.

$60 vs $20 with free shipping. Big difference in percentage.

Check out the $20 seller feedback,
only one feedback as seller , the rating was negative, buyer claimed seller did not shipped the item.

I bought six of these last round. Mine had anywhere from 800GB-20TB written and are all in excellent shape. Their performance is abysmal compared to modern SSDs though, just be aware of that if you're interested in buying. I wouldn't be shocked if the seller lists another batch in a couple of weeks either.

Edit: My batch also had 5 solid years of runtime on them, FYI.
