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.

    I’d send them back. Looking at Amazon, they don’t have 4tb nvme that cheap. And putting aside potentially being mislabeled, would you really want to trust your data to “Generic”?
