Hi all,

I bought 2 of these on eBay from the same guy. One has an NVME namespace defined (/dev/nvme2n1) and looks OK. The other one (/dev/nvme1) does NOT have a namespace. Following a few guides trying to create a namespace does not work -- I get an error (I don't have the drive infront of me, but when I do I'll update this post). smartctl --all show the total namespace as only 69.7GB as well. Is this drive borked? Does it simply need a firmware update?

Anyone have experience with these drives?
