Blockbuster price for an Intel data centre SATA SSD
These are the drives to get for building a NAS and storing valuable data
The 7.68TB ‎D3-S4610 model is also available for $844.94

Q. Why would I pay $60 more than the Crucial MX500 2TB deal?
A. These are guaranteed Intel TLC NAND, have 10x the endurance rating at 7100 TBW and have physical Enhanced Power Loss Data Protection capacitors so data is not lost during power outages

    Nice, 5 year warranty

  • @I Smell Pennies, any code to make this free
    Lol

  • Can this be used as external ssd ?

    • Yes, in with a USB enclosure, their was a deal earlier where these were $9.
      Kind of a waste though

      • Why a waste? If it's sata, then you'll still get full speed over USB 3.0.

        • SATA to USB 3 is kinda outdated, expected to be replaced by M.2 and USBC soon

          The speed of SATA SSD is actually limited by the Sata and not the SSD itself hence we won't likely see much drop in the price

    ServeTheHome article explains a lot about where this drive sits between consumer SSD and NVMe/Optane.

  • Nice tbw

      Unsure, but these drives certainly don't need it, I used these for Chia farming, constant writes 24x7 for months with no slowdown. NVMe interface will be faster, but for Sata these are great.

    • No loss for an enterprise drive given the impressive endurance. I'd still getting good gains if I threw my databases on these vs SATA/SAS HDDs.

      • i thought dram cache is more so for much better sustained speed on random reads / writes ops.

        • Yes. In most server environments there's more random/read writes than sustained.

  • Thanks Op, grabbed one. Sounds like a solid option for backups. Wish I could afford enough for RAID, but the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra pre-order has exhausted the toy budget.

    • Bit wasted for backups

      • Depends on how much you value your backups.

        • +3

          For backups you don't need endurance of this class, nor the low latency random access. You're better off with multiple cheap HDDs rotated offline to mitigate the more likely failure modes: single device failure, theft, fire and lightning.

          Or if you only have 2TB to back up, Backblaze B2 or one of the S3 Glacier tiers would far exceed the durability of any DIY solution for a roughly equivalent price over 2 years.

      • SSDs are pretty neat for primary, online backups and increasingly defensible in that use case, depending on the user's priorities :)

        Harder to justify for the cold/offsite tiers though, and there seems to be a lot of uncertainty around data integrity with higher bit per cell NAND being kept offline long term.

    with this type of endurance, it would be an excellent cache drive, for example, with unraid or a synology system.

    • Absolutely.

    • +1

      An excellent WRITE cache.

      You'll have to be writing 2tb/day for TEN YEARS.

    • Yup. Tempted.

  • -4

    Probably better off getting an EVO or MX500 and be careful to only ever use half capacity.

    • +2

      These don't even compare, different class of drive.
      These are where you need a lot of writes, video editing, nvr, hosting virtual machines and their pagefiles, caches. OS drives, scratch disks ect… or just someone that doesn't want to worry about TBW.
      These will out live their claimed TBW.

      • I don't know if they will. Endurance is mostly about high durability nand and a lot of overprovisioning.

        I don't think this necessarily means anything for the life of the controller or other components. The drive could still very realistically fail after 7 or so years even with light writes.

      • -1

        scratch disks

        Thought only HHDs have these issues

        • Pagefiles and temp storage for things like Photoshop and Lightroom

    tHanks OP. never new about the existence of these. learn something new everyday on ozbargain!

    i think these have run out. shows up as 302 with no Amazon US option

  • Pity Intel sold their SSD division. Still using their enterprise drives (480GB Optane) in some systems (5+ years without issues).

    • +1

      yup, I have a 240GB Intel 730, was my C: drive for 8 years, 11633 hours, 15687 GB reads, 15653 GB writes, still 98%

  • +3

    Looks like these are back in stock with a reduced price at $200.88. Got some myself at the previous price but luckily it hadn't shipped yet so could cancel and reorder!

  • Deal back on with $14 price drop

    • +1

      Further $2.77 price drop to $198.11.
