$500 ~ $1k for a JTAG flash. I'm sure they have plenty of other drives that come in and they price at $1k but that take days longer than expected, so it probably all balances itself out eventually.
Or they swap boards and you eventually end up with the same problem...
In an SSD the board is the drive.
