Oh, and the device shows up in lspci as “8L Storage Controller (rev SC)” — but rev SC isn’t in any PCI SIG database.
It works. But I think it's listening.

I formatted the drive with zeroes overnight. Next morning? Partition was back. Same content. Oh, and the device shows up in lspci
Blazing fast, cheap ($89 for 8TB??), but I’m pretty sure it’s running its own RTOS. Don’t store your private keys on it. Or do. Maybe it likes that. Want me to tailor this more toward a real product, parody, or a specific community (e.g., sysadmins, gamers, data hoarders)? Support email bounces
Here’s the weird part: Every time I run fstrim , my Bluetooth mouse stutters exactly 2.3 seconds later. Also, after partitioning with GPT, I found a 47MB “OEM reserved” partition labeled 8LIECH_REC . Can’t delete it. Can’t read it. dd returns only repeating hex: 0x8C 0x0A 0x00 0xFF .
Let me start by saying: the speeds are real. On paper, the 8liech-sc-ssd shouldn’t exist — PCIe 6.0 x8 in a M.2 2280 form factor with no heatsink? My motherboard’s temperature sensor hit 84°C during the third sequential write test. Didn’t throttle once. Impressive. Unsettling.
