While not exactly a deal per-se, at least one of the better deals I could find for a new 905P with a decent capacity.
(note this unit comes with x4 NVMe slot adaptor.)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JD9GZN7

Gone are the days for the 1.5TB version for the same price. :(

At the time of this posting shipped by Amazon but not sold by.
Mine just arrived today.

This PCIe adaptor works well with my Windows soft RAID 0 dual 1.5TB 905P setup.
Should work well with dual 960GB too. (motherboard bifurcation required x4/x4)

Don't forget to show your NVMe some love with some cooling
This 60mm fan can be adhered to with double sided tape to the back of the PCIe adaptor slot cover to provide cooling above and below the drives from the rear of the PC if you have free slots above and below the NVMe PCIe adaptor when installed.
( protect those fingers - grill cover )

...also these Optane's have firmware updates so don't forget to apply those.

Oof. That's painful.
Thought the 400GB P5801X @~$250 smarted.

Looks like they went out of stock soon after I posted this. Lucky I even got one at all. I didn't want to post it here until I was sure the seller came though with the delivery. Ebay pricing was $500 new and I wasn't going to go for that. My Optane buying days are pretty much over.

Tempted to try and piecemeal an optane PDIMM NAS. Otherwise, the P5801X was the end of mine, too.
