Found a Samsung PM893 for $485!

Found a Samsung PM893 7.68TB SATA SSD on marketplace for $485 only. He lives not too far away, I asked if I can test it before purchase. So he brought the SSD within an hour, checked and registered on Samsung website, no problem. SMART showing zero hours, and 113GB written.

Started doing full write and read surface test, writing at 380MB/s on a USB 10Gbps enclosure already halfway through, and then the read test will happen, showing total 11 hours to complete.

Are there any other test that I should be doing? He left the SSD with me as the test will take longer. I can still give it back, but so far everything seems ok.

Thinking of getting a Samsung PM893 from marketplace, any specific test to do to find out if it is genuine?

Found a PM893 7.68TB SSD for a good price on marketplace, screenshot shows 0 power on hours and only 100GB write. Seems too good to be true, and I will be doing a full read / write surface test with hard drive sentinel, just wondering if there are anything else I should be checking.

It is an enterprise SSD so Samsung Magician won't be able to tell if it is genuine or not (running win11)

Any advice on what else should I check? TIA
