8There is another topic regarding an Intel 320 513gb drive:
Laugh If You Must.... I don't think they even made one shucks...... 320 SSD 512GB?
Having issues pulling up docs and specs on the Series 320 on intel site- docs not found,
The topic is two years old- hoped maybe something has happened since the original topic posted
because the ISN shows a valid warranty until July 2016.
I purchased the drive on eBay April 10th, got it yesterday after the seller sent me the wrong drive first.
The Model number is: ssdsa2cw512g3
The serial number is: CVPR12950FD512NGN
I became suspicious when I noticed there was no intel logo/decal or silk screen marking on the top of the brushed aluminum case.
The bottom of the drive has a label, with a few asian characters written in pen, along with the FW version, but otherwise no marking.
The drive was advertised as used, but the SMART power-on hours count showed 0 by now it's up to 8,
I understand the power-on hours count is supposed to be cumulative over the life of the drive- barring reset with specialized utility.
The power-on hours don't reconcile well with 346 power cycle counts, and 36 unsafe shutdown counts
and the timed-work-load timer showed 155254819 on initial power-up.
Before the 512Gb arrived, the seller sent me the wrong drive, I didn't read the label before popped the tape and found a new sealed in zero stat bag.
A series 1500 240G- I didn't open the zero stat bag. The first series 1500 came in a small brown box with a white label.
Wondering the next step if the drive is counterfeit, do I return to seller or report to ebay?
If I return to seller it may hit the street again.
Should I hang on the the 1500 so it can be inspected to see if it's legit?
Thoughts?
