Bought a new NVMe drive. Installed it using cheap PCIe adaptor bought off Amazon.
From /var/run/dmesg.boot
nvd0:NVMe namespace nvd0: 244198MB (500118192 512 byte sectors)
Surprisingly, the device is already partitioned.
[dvl@test ~]$ gpart show nvd0
=> 34 500118125 nvd0 GPT (238G)
34 500118125 - free - (238G)

Eh, is is this a used device? The static bag it arrived in was sealed.
Let’s see.

Oh, use the other device.
