Has anyone heard of these drives?:
https://waterpanther.com/pages/about-us
They have a downtown NY address in a multi-tenant building. They
definitely don't want you to know who they are and where they get/make
their drives. Pretty much sounds like how Kim Jong-Un got his $500,000
mercedes via that Russian ghost ship.
I saw WP on newegg and the 12G SAS SSD version of the drives are much
cheaper than buying from HP and Dell.
It's very difficult to configure a server for SAS 12G SSD. They're
still heavily platter based systems. Drives me mad. But, anyone have
experience with WaterPanther?
There seems to be a lot of SSD drive manufactures but demystifying the
who really makes drives for who game is overwhelming:

Never heard of them ...
and since their domain is only 3 years old .. well that would make me question the statement
"WaterPanther© makes possible the most complete compatible drive on the market."

Well that sent me down an interesting rabbit hole:
"Why would a company call themselves WaterPanther?" "Where did they
get their name from?" "Is it in opposition to a fire fox?"
Then I found something called an "Underwater Panther", which is a
creature of some Great Lakes Native American religions, whose enemies
are Thunderbirds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_panther
Dunno if they named the company after the creature but... An
interesting discovery.
