I got the kit for a good deal ($45 CAD +15 shipping) and figured I would fart around with it… I’m now realising I should probably get some smaller nvmes first to play around with this and then setup something with ssd’s instead for my mass cloud storage

Cool, thanks for the info!

Don’t worry, it’s much worse than that now. It’s showing 1.63 now and estimated 611h until completion. These are going back to amazon

I will let you know in 20 days 😅🤪🤣

I have 5 of them, i was going to make a raid with my geekworm pi nas dunno how much faster that would make them

Cuz it’s nit looking good…🤣🤣

Probably, I was just hopping amazon made a mistake on the price or something 🤪

Sorry, I don’t think I worded that properly, these are mew drives I got off amazon, 4tb for $65 each. i’m running a test to see if they’re any good or pure garbage using an old computer at work 😅

Might do better if I take the plastic cover off the enclosure… Might do better if I put a heat sink on it… Might do better if they weren’t fake nvmes 🤣🤪

Pooo

But i luv pie…

Hey, at least it’s not kingston drives 🤪

But they’re not samsung, they’re generic brands :P

My expectations are not high on this. I figured I’d try my luck

Only reason I got them was for the return policy, if I saw them on aliexpress or temu I wouldn’t touch them.

I’m just running experiments on my geekworm nas, wont be using itbfor any real storage untill I can get some real nvmes

Like everything else in my life

I’d say there’s like a 1.4% chance they are 4tb… Don’t ask me how I got those numbers, I’m an idiot who bought 20tbs of nvme’s for $325 off amazon

Thank you! Will keep this noted and report findings of if I gor screwed

Windows 11

How do I do that?

I figure it could be mislabeled 1tb or 500gb drives, but I should be able to return them through amazon if it’s not the right thing advertised.
