Or any other reason you'd want great latency, decent IOP for the $/capacity, longevity, or maybe you ran out of SATA ports, etc..

That is exactly on-point. The nice part about these drives is that the MLC ones were made on an older process. Sure you will not have the 460,000 full disk re-writes, but if you are just looking for low latency storage, these are a good bet.

Anyone know if these work in FreeNAS/FreeBSD? My quick search yielded me old, conflicting answers.

It's worth noting:

Seller Notes
higher quantity available

They may have more if anyone's looking for more. I'm into all slot constrained systems so can't use them all that well so they're not for me ;(.
