Intel 1.6TB DC SSD P3605 Series 2.5" NVMe PCIe SSD SSDPE2ME016T4S | eBay

Almost as good a price as the 3.2 TB that ended tonight but BIN

Awesome, what cables / controllers/ adapters do I need for this?

 

[pyro_]

Options to connect these are
Add in PCIE card with U2 connections
U2 connector on motherboard
an M2 to U2 adapter

You will then need to have a cable to from the U2 port to the drive

I've been staring at these, drooling, with my finger on the trigger since yesterday...

Are these P3605 just an OEM version of these? Intel® SSD DC P3600 Series (1.6TB, 2.5in PCIe 3.0, 20nm, MLC) Product Specifications

If so, can they be upgraded to the latest Intel firmware? I saw some threads about this on here but I didn't see this confirmed.

See 1.6TB Intel DC P3605 (P3600) - $800 for discussion re upgrade.

Thanks. Looks like you have to stick with the Oracle firmware then...

The label on 2.5'' P3605 is supposed to be like this

So not sure how UNIXPlus had all their pics altered to these, price-wise is the lowest 2.5'' I've ever seen...

Weird with multiple places where there is missing oracle and s/n info, also removed the FW firmware version spot too. I asked what firmware is on the drives yesterday but not response yet.

Cheap NVMe storage. Nice.

@amalurk , any response jet from the seller ?

Just received the two I ordered, and the images in the listing are not modified. They legitimately don't have any FW rev info or Oracle PN info on the label. Might be a few days before I have a system set up to actually test/use them.

 

[DouglasteR]

Just a semi off topic. How do you connect this type of SSD to the regular Pcie ?

I understand that must be some kind of U2-> regular pcie bridge.

@DouglasteR I think several of us have these https://www.amazon.com/Funtin-PCIe-Adapter-SFF-8639-Interface/dp/B011YJ7WLK/ or https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-PEX4SFF8639-U-2-PCIe-Adapter/dp/B072JK2XLC/ or something similar.

@edit

Beaten !

Nvm, just found it.

Its a little bit worse than i thought.

 

[Xamayon]

Actually, upon closer inspection, if you hold them to the light just right you can see there WAS info on the label about FW rev, SN and Oracle PN but that it has been selectively erased. A bit shady.

The FW revision shows as RA10

SSD Toolbox shows FW as '8DV1' and no health info, which is to be expected for an OEM drive.

These aren't new in bag drives right? Any manufacturing date?
