That's not bad at all! the spec lists them as ~9-11W under load..which is YUGE~1.15W per drive as measured over 2 days.

@josh , I'm guessing you meant SML instead of SSL.
I do see some 400GB HUSML4040ASS601 on the bay ~$37.00 OBO - $40.00

I'm talking about the SSL actually. I see them going for $80-$100 on eBay and those are SLCs. Still trying to figure out the meaning of the numbers in these HGST model numbers.@josh , I'm guessing you meant SML instead of SSL.
I did not dig too deep on the differences - based on the published specs the two drives are rated similarly. Based on initial testing impressions I'd say the SMM drives compare similarly to the SML drives. writes (with type 2 protection) seemed to be 15-25% faster in my very basic testing. (@ 4K - 64k RS.) My not very controlled testing environment showed without type 2 protection that writes were basically the same between the two drives +/- < 5%.
I do see some 400GB HUSML4040ASS601 on the bay ~$37.00 OBO - $40.00 but the majority of the SML drives do seem to be a bit more expensive than this deal. However the majority of the SMM on the bay seem to be in the ~$100.00+ range.
Given the either new or close to new state of the SML drives in this deal and apparently improved write performance I still believe this is a better deal.
quick performance test images attached, SMM, SML, included for comparison Samsung PM853T, intel P3605
SML drives had type 2 protection enabled at the time of testing.

5 node (w/ 4 drives per node) Ceph cluster for OpenStackBtw what are you guys using the drives for? I don't have any use for 400GB SSDs but I'm looking for some reason to get some of them since they're decently priced.
How are you housing the drives? 4 node cloud servers? Looking for some hardware that justifies the cost of only 4 small capacity drives per node.5 node (w/ 4 drives per node) Ceph cluster for OpenStack

Having a little difficulty justifying full SSDs for home VM usage. Have you tried running these as cache drives for SATA/SAS?I have a 2U 4 node Intel server (H2216 w/ S2600JF nodes) that has 4 2.5" drives per node. The controller node is an Intel 1U with 8 bays.
I mostly use Linux VMs and containers with smaller images. This setup is a cost effective way to play around with Ceph, OpenStack, and other "cloudy" things for work. I couldn't afford populating all bays with larger drives and for the price the endurance/performance on the HGST drives can't be beat.
Use case? I assume the price/GB much lower for the 800Gs?I have from a while 12x HUSMM8080ASS200 (SSD800M instead of SSD1600M but with 800 Gb capacity)
I didn't really know which are performance difference between theses models but i'm really happy with theses (rock solid).
Media center fills up SSD fast no?Storage pool for VM, media center, etc... in my homelab.
I did a deal (with a member here) for around 85€/ea
