I don't know about the reputation of these drives, but I thought the price/gigabyte was decent and they claim to be "enterprise" SSDs:

I'm not affiliated with any of these sellers; just saw them while browser shopping on eBay and thought I'd share.

They don't seem to have power loss protection...so not really all that enterprisey. Perhaps ok for enterprise desktops/laptops.

My understanding is that the Toshiba HG6 SSDs have no DRAM cache, so no need for capacitors to flush DRAM to MLC when power is gone. Instead, it has some sort of Adaptive SLC cache layer along with the MLC NAND that speeds up random access. I don't know if that makes it more "enterprisey" ... or how well that actually works.

Saw that too, but I'm a little skeptical about how well it really works in practice. Especially since their PX-series SAS drives have traditional power-loss-protection..
