Scouring through amazon for random stuff yesterday, saw these “generic brand” nvmes for $65 a pop. Figured I’s give it a shot for my little geekworm pie nas. 4 for the raid and 1 for backup if something goes boogers up. 20tb for $325 was too good to pass up, worse case scenario they are either 1tb each or they fail after a few months. We’ll see whats up when they get here in 2 weeks.
They are probably 256gb drives that show up in the OS as 4tb. When you start writing files over the actual capacity of the drive , it will just start overwriting the initial files that you put on there.
Good thing Amazon has a good return policy
Fuck Amazon, they make everything more expensive or shittier
Only reason I got them was for the return policy, if I saw them on aliexpress or temu I wouldn’t touch them.
