Brand new drive from an industrial drive maker, not even used OEM laptop drives are this low. Looks like seller accepts offers too. Discount for multiples makes it a great deal.
Doesnt look like it has PLP like an actual enterprise drive though. 1.6TBW is pretty good for the size.

I don't think this is a particularly good deal. This is an old Gen3 drive based on even older BiCS3 flash (we are at BiCS8 now).
You can often find on ebay SK Hynix PC801 1TB (OEM version of the P41 Platinum) for $45.

What impact does this BiCS difference produce? Also this drive has 4x the rated endurance.
Newer generation of flash are denser, faster, and more power efficient.
Most TLC flash have 3000 P/E cycle.
The endurance numbers in TBW need to taken with a grain of salt.
The endurance depends on the type of workload (sequential=easy, random=hard) and the amount of overprovisioning present on the drive. In this case, I don't think there's much overprovisioning because it's already hard to fit 1TB of BiCS3 in m.2 2280 size.

Ill let someone more knowledgable than myself respond to that.
Personally I dont think theres much of difference and Im happy to have purchased multiple industrial drives for 35ea, which in my opinion is close to if not one step above the high end consumer drives.

Did the seller provide you with a tracking number? I purchased 4, and the seller listed as shipped by ups ground, but no tracking number was provided.
Neither was I, but I received the 2 ordered today even though the expected delivery date was July 8 - July 16.
