U.2 and U.3 drives need a backplane wired for NVMe or an adapter carrying PCIe lanes to the bay - a SAS backplane will not do it. Check your chassis supports NVMe in the slot you plan to use before ordering. NVMe drive prices and form factors
Recertified enterprise drives are pulled from datacentre fleets, tested and resold. They are usually the cheapest route to bulk capacity, and the risk is concentrated in the first weeks - so check SMART data the day it arrives rather than the day you need it.
