Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

I almost bought one because they were on huge sale at Amazon.

    Yeah, I wouldn’t suggest buying the huge sales at amazon for ssd’s.

    They probably pulled the bad drives back from merchant stock to avoid getting returns. Those frequently wind up on Amazon as huge sales.

    Not always. Their prime day and Black Friday deals are usually pretty solid. I've gotten drives the last 2 prime days, and a black Friday 4 years ago, and they've lasted the couple years I've had them, and last years 2tb is fine in my PS5 so far.

    I'd be wary of any sk hynix ones though. I can almost guarantee those are always ripped out of old builds, because that's where all of mine have come from.
