Yes. Computer never boots into the OS even after making changes in BIOS so long as that drive is connected.

Short of if that drive has a partition that has the exact same unique identifier as a partition on your boot drive or another drive I have no idea why that would happen.

Have you in the past use Clonezilla or another disk copying tool to clone a drive to or from that drive?

I don’t know. You tell me.

I'd need more information. If this is AliExpress or Alibaba then there is a scam where they will list something for 20% of it's current resale value and then not deliver it to you. I was hit with that once when I found a Nvidia 3060 for $80, though I did get a refund.

That being said going on eBay I'm seeing them go for $1,500 for brand new from multiple listings from multiple countries. It could be a prevalent scam or it could be the current actual going price.
 
Remember, in China, a basic principle is that if you think you can get something for way below market value, then you deserved to get scammed, and the scammer was putting in an honest day's work by scamming you.

It's a fantastic deal. And chance of it being a scam absurdly high. If it is someone who miraculously doesn't know what they have, then you're the one scamming them. But like others say, not very likely.

But in the general sense of is it a good card, well it is superb for what people who want that card for want it. But it's a 600W card (unless you got the Max-Q edition which is lower wattage but same VRAM). Could you actually use it? What would you use it for? It'd be terrible value as a gaming card because you'd be paying for so much you don't need. For local LLMs it would be great (though people are already looking for more than 96GB VRAM for that and willing to sacrifice power for VRAM to get it). If you want to crank out AI image generation or short movies, it would be a beast. But this isn't a card for ordinary users who think they might like to try it out.

It’s cute how you guys think these prices will ever go down significantly. As soon as macroeconomic factors bump the price down, people who were ‘waiting’ will swoop in and buy, driving the price back up. And they have bigger budgets than you. It’s the video card thing all over again. They’re never going to go down to what they were before. Manufacturers will do whatever they can to keep the price up, even if it means offering product premiums you don’t even need/want.

Two months later … I’m still correct! You will be tired of my winning.

I thought they had something a little more concrete then that. Micron literally shut down their consumer products and cancelled contracts with retailers for this.

Unless this was some 4d chess to get memory prices to crash after pretending to buy them and getting the ram companies to build up supply that they now have to sell at a discount.

edit: I'm not finding a verified source and this tweeter is a Canadian and they lie all the fucking time
