Very nice price for an enterprise tier SSD
Compared to the WD Ultrastar DC SN640 this Intel has +50% faster sequential writes, +30% read IOPS, +60% write IOPS and +20% extra endurance
For standard PC's, U.2 drives require an adaptor such as this

Shipping is via UPS or FedEx (selectable) and no GST is applied at checkout (don't tell Gerry)
SPD also know how to properly ship drives:

Add import duty & GST if your order value exceeds A$1000.

Our drives ship in 225lb per sq inch pressure-rated boxes, specifically tested for impact. Inside the box you’ll find suspension brackets, foam inserts, or air filled pockets that secure the drive in place and prevent any possible impact from movement in the shipping process. The drive itself is sealed in an anti-static bag that protects the drive from any electromagnetic interference.

    Enterprise Grade SSD US$449.60

    Can confirm it also works in USS Voyager

    • +7

      Not to be a nerd but Voyager had some fancy new computer system with organic components, bio-neural circuitry, I don't think they would be compatible.

        You are being a nerd. Embrace it, nay, revel in it!

        Take this cheese to sickbay!

      Dammit, I have a Defiant.

  • +6

    You'll need a m.2 to u2 converter and they are not flat like m.2

    And U might have some issues with drivers and bios, check compatibility with the converter.

    Otherwise good deal

    • +1

      Nah, use them in 2.5 slots and get a U.2 to M.2 cable instead.

  • +2

    Lol @ TBW, that's insane.

    • This is just 1735 times to write-delete its full capacity. For instance, an old Samsung pro 250 Gb can fill its capacity 2500 times.

      • +1

        250GB vs 8TB, do the math. It's about the capacity. Total TBW.

        • +1

          Exactly. And the math says that the old home Samsung is twice more durable as per TBW.

          • -2

            @Ozzster: No that's not how it works, the 8TB has 32 times more storage capacity, which means it will last longer, or did you not take math in school?

            • +2

              @[Deactivated]: It will not last longer if you use full capacity. Pay attention to the details please.
              If you don't use full capacity then yes, it may last longer, but why would you need this size then?

              • -4

                @Ozzster: You don't understand how this works, 250GB vs 8TB, your usage compared to the 8TB means shorter life span.
                Try filling both to life expectancy, the 250GB needs to be cycled 32 times before it hits 1 cycle of the 8TB, you really don't understand this do you?

                • +2

                  @[Deactivated]: You will understand my point when you'll start applying the 'full capacity' requirement. This is the expectancy, not every single Tb is the expectency.

          • @Ozzster: For these enterprise grade drives they usually come in 7.68t/6.4T variants which are both the same internally but with different provisions and the 6.4t versions have 3x the tbw

          • @Ozzster: are you American? Your math is on their level

            • @Freestyle: are you being sarcastic or complimenting?

            • -1

              @Freestyle: I am thinking he really does struggle with general numbers.

        • The old Samsung Pro used MLC traditional NAND. This Intel drive uses TLC, 3D stacked. Even so, it is still a higher TBW per TB capacity when compared to Samsung's current TLC drives.

      • The old Samsungs used to have MLC NAND, these days only have TLC so not bad improvement on the controller side to at least salvage back some endurance.

      • This is just 1735 times to write-delete its full capacity.

        What do you mean just 1735 times ?!

        1735 x 8TB is approximately infinity TBW. The word "just" is completely misplaced - this drive has gargantuan endurance.

        • It's enterprise . Attach it to a server, run a 6Tb database back up every night on it, and it will be just enough for 5 years doing nothing but this single task. Just as an example.

  • Imo these aren’t as good a deal for home users as the previous Intel DC SATA ssd deal. Home labs don’t have tonnes and tonnes of U.2 nor do they have tonnes of nvme slots and even if they do that’s going to be a rats nest

    • +1

      The other way to get a U.2 port is with a PCIe card plugged into a x4 or better slot. If you have a spare one. And if you have a server motherboard it may well support bifurcation. That is you can get up to 4 U.2 or M.2 sockets from a spare x16 slot. Which you might well have on a server because it doesn't need its x16 slot for a video card.

    • not sure why people would try and use this for home except for the 8 TB storage volume, they are physically different to the small M.2 so that you can install in a server. always have this problem at work when managers thinks we can install 10x m.2 samsung SSD from scorptec in our HPE servers.

    • I agree. It’s not easy to keep these things cool either!

      This is what I had to do:

    Add import duty & GST if your order value exceeds A$1000

    I believe that was what the rule used to be years ago. It isn't any longer. There's no import duty, but its no longer the case that you only have to pay GST where the value is over AUD 1000.

    I was surprised to find when I purchased something new from the US from an ebay seller that the 10% GST had already been added by ebay to the price, and ebay shipping handled everything.

    • If its under $1000 then ebay collects gst on behalf of the government. Ebay operate in Australia so hard for them to ignore the govt. Lots of international stores don’t care and won’t as aussie laws can’t touch them. Used to be under $1000 there was no gst. Still is if the store doesn’t collect it :) customs don’t check if gst has been collected. Under $1k they don’t do anything gst wise.

      Over $1000 the task is assigned to customs to handle as they always have. Ebay, with no obligation to do anything, do not collect gst and leave it up to customs. Amazon do some weird prepay estimate on your behalf.

      Source: ordered over $1k on eBay no GST added. Package snuck through customs no gst. Different non ebay package over $1k from SPD no gst collected and got hit with gst + ~$70 ups customs processing fee

  • I use cards like these for U.2 drives… https://amzn.asia/d/8uwJrNC

    • Surely that would need a motherboard that supports bifurcation (if using two drives)?

    • ooh thks might be handy when we decomm the SAN so the SSDs we never filled don’t go to waste …

  • FYI they ship UPS and there is 0 chance of orders sneaking past customs if over $1000 without paying gst and customs processing fee which is i think ~$70.

    Ordered a bunch of 20tb drives from them last year and the same quantity from Hong Kong seller. HK order came FedEx no customs fee.

    Nothing wrong on server part deals part. Just saying that they are honest with the customs paperwork and UPS plays by the book. Drives were very well packed in both cases and I’d buy from them again.

  • Not recommended, I used to have a Intel P4600 2TB SSD, hot as hell. SAMSUNG PM9A3 could be a good choose.

    • Did you use the Samsung PM9A3 on DELL Poweredge servers?

      • I have a Samsung PM9A3 m.2 1.92TB on my home PC, cool as standard m.2 SSD.

    • these runs cooler than what you have. 16w vs 20w.

  • I really want to buy this, and install it onto one of my Sas expanders which are connected to a SAS raid card.

    if im not wrong, i think all i would need to do is get a MINI SAS HD (8643) to U.2 (or u.3 i think will work) Cable, because MINI SAS HD (8643) carries 4x lanes worth of bandwidth, it might be throttled though too whatever the interface protocol of the cable is, cable might only support 1x worth of u.2 bandwidth.

    can someone confirm this will work?

    • It will not work.

      U.2 (and M.2) is PCI Express, not SAS.
      I don't know if PCIe-capable SAS controllers exist, but normal SAS controllers can't carry PCIe. Those 4 lanes in your cable, are lanes of SAS. Not lanes of PCIe.

      You need to connect it to a PCIe slot with something like this https://www.amazon.com.au/Xiwai-SFF-8639-Adapter-Intel-Mothe…

      • What about an nVME to u.2 adaptor?

        • Yep, this will work - an nVME slot is a PCIe slot in a smaller form-factor 👍

          There's one linked further up - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14859106/redir - but be aware this drive will need active cooling. A fan needs to blow on it. Follow this link for some ideas - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14861802/redir

          • @Nom: Hey just did some further digging, if you have a TRI MODE sas controller, you can use this drive direct to the controller. i cant believe they ran out of stock before i could buy one. i needed one of these.
