    Cant even throw in shipping on a $3,256 ssd lol.

      Thing is, you HAVE to by 2 for a RAID 1.
      Imagine it dying and losing 400GB! <ouch>

      • abc on 07/08/2018 - 09:18

        Wouldn't risk RAID 1 without at least a hot spare for an enterprise system (at minimum RAID5 would be preferable).

        Therefore you need at least 3 lol.

      • bargaino on 07/08/2018 - 10:53

        you HAVE to by 2 for a RAID 1.

        Couldn't you use a magnetic HDD for mirroring?
        As long as you can accept some slow-down if the SSD fails.

      Not sure most people need to know the difference unless you deal with Enterprise IT KIt. Still it doesn’t matter as NVMe is superior in every way to a SAS SSD.

        with enterprise ssd it’s not just the speed, it’s also the endurance as many use SLC which will take many more write cycles than tlc, even 3d tlc nand.

        savvy hosting providers would tier this with some other options.

        the time will come when the cost of other nand and labour to replace drives makes it cheaper to go for nand other than slc.

        i asked the dell rep about warranty and write cycles, he said if we can wear out the cells during warranty or maintenance period they will replace drives, it’s not how much data we’ve written.

        enterprise is a different market.

        • incipient on 07/08/2018 - 08:42

          Correct! At a quick look I couldn't find the endurance of this, but doesn't matter. Typically fast, high endurance SLC drives will be great as a write (and possibly) read cache in front of other slower and less durable SSDs or maybe even hdds.

        • MeateaW on 08/08/2018 - 06:51

          @incipient:

          Err, ssds already have perfectly fine write life.

          I bought 24 500gb SSD drives 5 years ago for our exchange cluster for less than a third of this 400gb drive. - and that was 5 years ago!! Sure, it wasn't 12gbps, but it outperformed the 300gb sas drives and not a single one died.

          After pulling them all from the now decommissioned array the worst off of the cheapest drives (940 Evo's) 2 had 2 reallocated sectors, the other 4 had 1 or none. Every single 940 pro had zero reallocated sectors.

          Every drive was in raid 1 or 5 with hotspares, other than the hotspares we had written over 45 TB to each drive.

          Again zero failures, only minor wear leveling on the TLC drives.

          The interface speed is the only reason to go these drives, and I'm not sure it's worth it. Just buy two more arrays for the capacity and raid1 the entire array for faster read speeds.

        • incipient on 08/08/2018 - 07:04

          @MeateaW:
          Depends entirely how much you write. SLC can typically manage 100,000 PE cycles, whereas TLC is down to 5000 and I think Qlc is down to only 1000!

        • MeateaW on 08/08/2018 - 11:39

          @incipient: and these drives do NOT fill me with confidence.

          They have 112GB of their storage capacity reserved for wear leveling (thus 400gb usable space for these drives not 512 like the nand chips would dictate)

          They are getting their high writes on these drives by being over conservative, not by being high quality.

          If you bought literally ten times as many drives you'd get similar performance and even better write counts.

          There is no value in a 400gb SSD for over 2000 dollars, it doesn't stack up in any way shape or form.

I know you can get a regular drive a lot cheaper, but I keep my hard drives in another room from the mother board so I need a good SAS drive to run the connections that far. having a hard drive in a seperate room aligns your chi which saves you a lot more than 3k in the long run.

    I think people don't realise that although this is just a 400gb ssd, the extra price on top is all about Dell support.

    Try calling Dell for help when the server has problems and you have a Samsung 870 Pro installed.

    They gouge you for support and sell the main server for relatively "cheap".

      And probably find your warranty with Samsung is void. I've had a server come in filled with cheap Kingston SSDs and multiple in the RAID failed. Kingston rejected the warranty as the constant R/W showed it was used in their server and violated their terms.

    For some context on what you would use this for, I am buying 4 to 6 of these this year.
    I’m building a $200,000 server setup for a well known mid sided Australian company.
    I am using two of these dedicated to their SAP database which is the backbone of their business. Then I have the same in a backup server.
    Hundreds of thousands dollars in servers, same again in SAP and other associated databases, processing I don’t know, a million dollars worth or transactions a month for 5 years? For their price/required performance requirements this drive suits it very well…

    PS. This is spare parts which is always overpriced and looks odd. Dell will quite you per server based on the required specs, you don’t pay this but it’s an indication…
