I haven't seen that many SSD deals in Europe lately, but this seems decent. For the price of new consumer SSD you get a new (according to the seller) enterprise drive with good performance and PLP.

Is this a bit worrying?

"SSD was tested only once and still indicates 0 hours on power (according to CrystalDiskInfo)"
I'll report when I get mine...
...and after two weeks in use the drive is churring nicely and has racked up hours as it should. Made in February '20, had zero GB's written so I'm 99,99% convinced of it being a new drive.

One small caution though; CrystalDiskInfo doesn't recognize the drive, other S.M.A.R.T applications (HDTune, smartmontools) work fine, not sure what's causing it.

I picked up a couple myself. They're going to be a mirrored pair for hot/warm storage alongside my spinning rust. If they turn out to be legit it's a decent deal for what you get, certainly compared to consumer grade stuff at similar prices.

Sadly I could not afford more. Do you know if I can put them on my LSI, Broadcom Raid Card with an Raid 5?

Not for sure, but I'd certainly hope they'd work given they're data center class drives from a well known manufacturer because most of them will spend their entire life in various types of raid arrays.
