Around 2012 or so a client was building out a bunch of new database servers and had purchased fusion-io cards for them, which I think were going for something like $20k each. Well, the carrier never showed up on the day we were supposed to get them at the DC. I always assumed someone looked up the price, saw $100k+ worth of hardware that could be stuffed in a tote bag and decided to never show up to work again.

Man, what a blast from the past, those fusion io cards felt like alien technology back when I was just excited to have a non-HDD boot drive. Hell, I bet they'd still be decent drives in a current setup (large number of PCIe lanes wasted for an ancient revision aside).
