Ok, rather than throwing this into an electronic recycling center, I've two 100GB Samsung SLC drive (yes this is single level cell memory, not the MLC or TLC and has very long lifetime) with sata to fiber channel interposer (see pictures below) for 2 cents total plus shipping. This is used in an old EMC enterprise system. By default I will use USPS medium flat rate box of $14.25 because the items are heavy.

Unfortunately I don't have a system to test these out. No physical damage on the items as far as I can see.

Note: though this is a SATA drive according to this site, it is formatted with 520B sector size rather than the usual 512B.

CONUS only.

Thanks for looking.

Any idea if a QS would work in this? X99m Killer...CPU is supported, but unsure of QS type.

See my post in this forum thread. It ran fine on Asrock X99M Killer MB with BIOS 3.30 (hack), Windows 7.This QS type is identical to production C1 stepping spec as per my first post here.

Is that price a typo? That’s a whole lot of cores for 100 bucks!
That's around the ebay price. One reason is that the max all core frequency only tops at 2.4GHz for all cores. Kind of low by today's standard in comparison with AMD epyc server chips. You can run all the 18C/36T at 2.9GHz with bios hack which is why I bought this in the first place.

I thought you had asked this question before here and so did I ;) .

From what I've researched, it could very well be the Samsung SSD firmware that prevents the change to 512B.

Perhaps someone who still has the old EMC system with this SSD can provide comment.
So no. Oh well.
