I don't need those. Too small to be of any use
I use the 100/200GB models in quite a few ZFS hybrid arrays, VERY handy there or bundle these up in r-10 stripped mirror for 400GB high performance/very redundant pool or a raidz for almost 600GB space.

I understand the desire to go 400gb...that's what drove me to STALK the hussl listings for the last 6 months pretty steady.

If I'm getting those SSDs I'll be replacing 15K drives and 200GB vs 600GB is a 66% loss of space

Smartctl info of my 8 drives. My eyes crossed...translation anyone? Looks like babies to me unless my gigabyte to petabyte conversion math is off. Some lower than 1/10th of a PB and some a lil over 1/5th of a PB when these are rated nearly 39PB if memory serves me correct.

Someone let me know if my conversion factors are off/nutty please. That look like roughly 40TB-200TB or so on those across the range of numbers?

Looks good, a couple in the 200TB range with rest all sub 100TB in writes.

Had time to reformat mine to 512B. The first one looks great. 37TB written and 95TB read. The 2nd looks even better with only 2TB written and 1.6TB read. Not sure what the verify is, never seen it before. Anybody know what that's about since there are no errors listed?

Code:
Error counter log:
           Errors Corrected by           Total   Correction     Gigabytes    Total
               ECC          rereads/    errors   algorithm      processed    uncorrected

Just got my drives today (in Canada, so a bit later then you lucky devils) and based on what I've read here it looks like I'll need to reformat these since they come with 520 sector sizes. The two questions I have are:

1) I'm a Windows guy, so I'm assuming I can use Disk Management or some other tool to format these to a supported Sector Size?

2) I'm intending to use these as storage for my main development VMs (Server 2012 Hyper-V .vhdx files). Given this usage, am I better off choosing a sector size of 512B or 4K?

Short answer is NO. so is the long answer.
I used Windows server(diskpart and disk manager ) before using Ubuntu , Windows only complain with IO error then quit.

That how to reformat 520b drives to 512b using sg-utils is GOLD! Immediately fixed up all 8 of my drives. I used ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the pkg was called sg3-utils, I think in CentOS it's sg3_utils.

I finally got around to installing these drives in my new build. I reformatted them to 512b easily but I'm wondering if there is a good way to test these drives to be sure they are "good" before I throw them in a vSAN cluster.

SmartMonTools, TMux, BadBlocks :)

Takes a while to complete the tests, but you can peek in on it's progress very easily. Worth every minute of your time though :)
