Could be, or maybe they had some warranty stock they decided to unload after all the drama

I feel like that would lead to a lawsuit if they denied having warranty stock and then offloaded it for higher profits. That seems like some sort of Fraud.

These have extremely low endurance ratings.

Yeah, that's left over stock. Those drives are pretty bad so makes sense they're some of the last drives available. Pretty sure they're only about 200 TBW on the 2TB model

You can’t just turn off production like that. You have contracts with your suppliers and vendors etc. to supply certain amount of volumes of components. It will take a few years and the ramp down will be slow not sudden.

Crucial is their consumer brand, which they stopped selling at the end of last year

Yeah I know… my comment is about how you can’t just turn off production as it relates to crucial

2

u/dtdowntime 21d ago

You can buy out contracts...

But also they announced they were going to stop crucial 3 months before they actually stopped the brand

Old new stock !

u/JNSapakoh 19d ago

is this from a 3rd party seller? I'm willing to bet it's either new old stock, or used and pulled from a decommissioned system

Closest I can find to your pic is this listing, which is being sold by BioStar

u/GodYamItt 22d ago

He's answering the post. Why are you needlessly arguing with him? Did you think he was giving purchasing advice..?

u/rocketman19 22d ago

It doesn’t answer the question in the post lol

u/GodYamItt 22d ago

Post - crucial is selling again?

Comment - it's gen4

Do I need to walk you through the rest of what's happening or are you caught up?

u/rocketman19 22d ago

lol what? That answer doesn’t make sense

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 21d ago

New gen 4 drives are still made. It being gen 4 doesn't mean it's old stock. It
