Just wanted to tell you about a greatest server deal I've had so far.
I was looking for enterprise intel ssds for quite some time and recently came across this:
INTEL P3700 2TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SOLID STATE DRIVE SSDPEDMD020T4D1 SSD 735858276467 | eBay
I've bought it last month, didn't yet have a time to fully configure my new server, still some minor issues here and there with my server, but the SSDs in question work great.
When I first contacted them they told me they purchased like 2 thousand of those and got a very good deal that time so they were selling extras off. These particular ones are Dell-OEM drives, bulk package from September or August 2017 IIRC, right before intel announced end of manufacture for these.
Now A BIG HUGE WARNING there: the drives are in Hong Kong and as you may or may not know they have a big protests going on there for a couple of months now and it's only getting worse.
Ask the seller if they're still willing/able to ship. When I bought these a month ago it wasn't that bad as it is now. I also purchased 4 2T P4510 from them too (now unavailable, Intel SSD DC P4510 Series (2.0TB, 2.5in PCIe 3.1 x4, 3D2, TLC) SSDPE2KX020T801 735858343855 | eBay ) and those were quite delayed but finally came in yesterday. Those are not OEM, but a real intel ones, bulk pack date march 2019. Just make sure to ask the seller before making a purchase. I'm not sure how ebay/paypal would handle this as I'm unaware how they treat national protests in a disputed cases.
