Seller has the 1.6 TB PM1725 drives for $525 but I was able to get one for $450 after making an offer. Pretty great deal on these drives. DELL 1.6TB PCIe SSD GEN 3 NVME PM1725 MZWLK1T6HCHP-000D3 | eBay

If this deal is indeed real, if anyone wants to unload one I am game.

If you guys want me to test anything specifically, just send the diskspd command and I will run it.

sorry about that...images should appear now. Also, with diskspd I was able to hit r/w speeds of 2.8GBs/2.0 GBs.

I received the SX350 today. Packaging was great and ran fio-status and a quick CrystalDiskMark. I can run diskspd if anyone is interested. This was my best purchase in 2016. Would be nice if the seller drops more as I would love to pair this up. @timd - I would love to see the numbers you get...

Yes, you're correct there are 8 available. I wasn't 100% confident myself, but decided to take a chance considering the fact that these are the newest model of the Fusion IOs. When it arrives, I will report back on the packaging and will verify the usage via ioSphere.

I have a feeling this drive might be the XS1715 due to the 400 GB size. So it should have 750,000 4k read iops and r/w seq. speeds of 3GBs/1.4GBs. With a max of 5 PBW, it's not too shabby...

Great find...in for 2*960GB

Thanks @Patrick...price is reduced to $750. I picked one up as I couldn't resist...

@Patrick the link you posted was updated to $499.99

Look forward to the results from your NVMe SAN build. Looking to do something similar early next year for our enterprise.

I prefer diskspd as well. It's a handy tool for benchmarking the Intel NVMe drives and I've used it for infiniband testing as well.
