Edit: Seller listed 6 new lots of 5x drives/ea:
LOT OF 5 - SanDisk Optimus SSD TXA2D2 400GB 2.5" | eBay
Performance on these is really good for 400GB SAS2 drives.
Edit:
These drives are pulls from M$ Azure StorSimple appliances (on-prem Azure storage buckets) so wear is going to vary depending on the use of the appliance your drives came from. I got *exceedingly* lucky with my first batch, they had less than 9TWB and less than 6mo power on hours. Your mileage there will vary heavily.
If anyone works with one of these and wouldn't mind trying to pull a current firmware from one of the drives could you PM me? I'd love to get my hands on the most recent release.

This looks like a pretty decent price for some smaller sized drives. If you're looking to fill up a bunch of un-used 2.5" bays with flash this isn't a bad option at ~48$/drive. They're a little older but I highly doubt they've had 7+PB written to them during their time in service.

Warranted for 10dwpd x 5Yr (~7.3PB)
