wtb: Delock-95000, miniPCIe-sATA-quadport-HBA (want to buy/where to buy)

[DiTBho]

hi
this is a want to buy/(suggest)where to buy request.
I am not able to find a DeLock-95000 from { eBay, Amazon, ePrice, ... } as "product no more available".

On the DeLock website they invite you to look for resellers, the 13 Europeans shops (suggested by Delock itself) I asked told me they didn't have the product in stock and couldn't order it.

The 95000 is based on the MARVELL-88SE9215 chip, offering a SFF-8087 (quad sATA) interface.

I know "KALEA-INFORMATIQUE" (France based) offers a "similar" HBA, however ... I'm not sure if it's the same quality, and I've read several customers complaints to which KALEA-INFORMATIQUE responded "for 50 euro + S/H don't expect the same build quality as DeLock".

Well, I can pay it more than 50 euro, it's not a metter of money, it's a vital component for the final purpose I need it for, so I'd like to avoid nasty surprises.

This is not a topic where I don't just ask if anyone on the forum has one for sale, but where I also ask for suggestions on "where to buy", and I specified that I don't want to buy anything other than DeLock.

Thanks

Above I put the link to the product, where there are also the datasheets, I also put a photo so it's even clearer


(DeLock-95000)

I explicitly asked for the product made by DeLock, I don't want to buy clones of dubious quality, and I seem to have written it very clearly.
If it wasn't clear, I'll say it again

Looking at the board images, LinkReal LRST8615-4IT (.com.cn) seems an exact duplicate or OEM of Delock 95000, including components and silkscreening.
(I believe suspect OEM, as Delock lists the origin of 95000 as China.)

Considering the price including shipping, and Delock 95000 being unobtainium, you might consider ordering a LinkReal one from LinkReal's AliExpress store.

Delock 95000 EAN is 4043619950003, and doing a web search on that indicates Egloss.at might have one (for 70€+).

I doubt it's actually designed by Delock (note the lack of any Delock branding). So LinkReal might well be the OEM. Note that coromonadalix already posted a link to the same item in their post that was apparently worth adding them to an ignore list for

Given AliExpress good customer service and the low price, I'd say it's worth ordering it, testing it and returning if it doesn't perform. I find the easiest place to get simple legacy hardware like PCIe to RS-232 cards or PCI SATA cards these days is AliExpress since computer shops generally don't carry such items anymore and Startech is generally too expensive for me.
