for those if you who has bought these, do you have the aprox size and weight for the package?

-J
Each drive in mine (3 total) was in a box, which when packed with the drive, weighed 4.2oz and about 6"x4"x2". They were all packed in a larger newegg box that itself weighed 6.3oz empty and was about 8"x10"x5". You might have to convert that into grams/cm :)

@Patrick You mention in the Enterprise SSD report on the front page the need to burn-in new (used) enterprise SSDs. This is new to me, and I couldn't find anything in the forum or related articles about how you do that. Do you have any tips or tricks? I want to burn these in while I'm waiting for some other parts.

It would be cool to have a "testing", 'burn in' & 'Maintenance" (some people report periodic scrubbing and testing) thread or resource for new and used SSDs & HDDs in one spot.
For people with Linux or new people who are using Windows. Cheers

What reported the 15.2 GB? 15.2 GB is ~14 GiB so they might both be right.
I used the explorer details view size.

Explorer lists: 15,199,566 KB
Properties lists: 14.4 GB (15,564,406,784 bytes)

So I guess that was it + rounding = 14GB in CDI

No more 960s just 200s. I picked up 4@960. At $180 each that is by far the cheapest 1TB SSD I've ever seen.

Just to confirm, the 200GB models are also superior in terms of speed to their S3500 counterparts? I'm shopping for faster SSDs than the two home-user ones I'm currently using in my homelab. Would be happy if these would work at ~$90 for two.

The S3500 Comes in 160GB or 240GB capacity, neither of which are as good spec-wise as this Toshiba.

Particularly for writes, these things are sweet.

Thanks, I ordered 2. Hopefully this will improve some of the Fsync issues I've seen in Proxmox.

Without any research i ask: how do these Toshibas 200GB compare to Intel 3700/3710?

Update: OMG! S3710 200GB costs ~$270 new. So it's probably in a different league?

The Intel DC S3710 is a much higher write endurance drive. Most people will not need that level of write endurance.

From looking at the date it appears these drives were setup as a mirror. With just over 12TB written each. However HD Sentinal is saying approimately 375TB total writes per drive. They are both showing the same hex value in both pieces of software. 375TB seems like an awful lot for 48 days of power on. <shrug>

It was established earlier that Crystal Disk Info shows the Total Write accurately while HD Sentinal does not. So I think you can disregard the 375TB total write reported by HD Sentinal.

Although they cleared out the 400GB and 960GB versions, they also dropped the price of the 200GB down to under $40 direct at Newegg, as well as their ebay store:

Would these be a suitable ZIL/Cache drive, if I dont have a S3700/S710 available...?

Also, anyone in the states would be kind enough to relay 5 drives to Sweden? :)
