Nice pricing on Intel's high endurance enterprise SSD's
These D3 drives are now better value than the prosumer IronWolf and WD Red SSD's

  Nice, that's a lot of TBW haha

  Much cheaper than setting up a raid array to reduce the risk of failure from cheap disks!

    Anything you don't want to lose you still need to backup. In terms of risk, I'm not sure the numbers would come out too differently using this+backup vs say a crucial ssd+backup.

      I was suggesting the equation would be more like:

      This plus backup, vs
      Crucial SSDx4-8 plus backup

      Where the additional complexity, hardware controller, cables and power usage all add to the risk of failure

      This vs single commodity SSD alone, well the MTBF and TBW numbers show the avg amount of reliability (time+use) you are buying for the extra $.

      For instance, 8800TBW vs 800-1200 is a factor of >8x, for an investment of only 3x

    Lol, depending on what you're using it for, you'd still want to mirror these, in addition to a backup strategy.

    Raid0 rocks

    No, these are still 4x more expensive than hard drives for even smaller capacity. You'd still want to raid these if it's for important data too so no savings to be had there. Bigger server rack to fit more of these in since capacity is so small=more space+rack+electricity cost. For data storage hdd is still king for general consumers.

    There's a reason these are being offloaded, 2.5/3.5" nvme drives are a thing that have higher capacities (8+ tb) and 15x faster speeds.

    On the upside, since these are being offloaded from servers, you can find these for much cheaper on ebay though I haven't checked used prices for these in awhile so it still might not be worth it.

  These are a bit too heavy duty for me

  Intel make good SSDs.

  My 530 from 2015 still chugging along.

  Helloworld07 on 26/04/2023 - 15:03

  This or some cheap NVME SSD for general use? The endurance is way better than the NVME SSDs, but does it worth it for daily use?

  • 

    JerraJones on 26/04/2023 - 18:04

    Worth for daily use? Hell no, these are for massive data usage for big companies, you'd be hard pressed to use a fraction of tbw on normal nvme drives.

    Even cheap nvme drives have 300+ tbw/5 years warranty and are also much faster, not that ssd speeds really matter for software/gaming yet.

      Helloworld07 on 26/04/2023 - 20:10

      Thanks mate, will be looking for some cheap nvme instead

      Only down side is you gotta have the lanes/slots available for the M.2's. A lot of people still have sata slots available on their mobo's but running low on M.2.
      I personally, am holding out until sata ssd's have mass-storage options like the 4/8TB options at a much cheaper rate $$. Then i'll bite and use up my remaining sata's.

      If you want to run a SLOG or L2ARC vdev on a zfs pool, then drives like this are absolutely something you should consider.

  Even 7.68 TB model is well priced at $1109 through PCCG.

  These would be great for content creators who don't have the NVME / PCIe lanes available.
