EXPIRED Intel 1.6TB DC SSD P3605 - $470 BIN

[Modaeus]

For anyone considering these.
I bought one from the seller. It came in a antistatic bag with a "new" label without any firmware / oracle PN info on.
the firmware version is RA12 and this is output from SSD toolbox:

1.1TB written and about 78 days powered on is not much for these drives.

mine fw also ra12,its bugged need update to ra13, will get slightly better perfmance.

Some ppl told me the ture number can only see under oracle system, they all use 4 io accelerator, shouldnt be that low.

• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) 2,000,000 Hrs
• Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER) less than 1 sector per 1e17 bits read
• Warranty Period 5 yrs

How much performance is there to gain by updating? asking since I currently don't have a linux system to update it through.

I copy this from orcale:

During OS install or reboot testing, Oracle 1.6 TB NVMe SSDs with 8DV1RA12 firmware stop operating.

Under specific conditions, Oracle 1.6 TB NVMe SSDs with 8DV1RA12 firmware undergoing multiple reset or power-off events in a short time span can cause a drive to assert and a stop occurs. The controller places the drive into Disable Logical mode. This ASSERT or BAD_CONTEXT mode shuts down the drive storage device when the internal state of drive metadata could allow the drive to return incorrect data to the host, but the controller will still be visible to the NVMe driver.

I install ubuntu on this drive & update fw, then just format it.



Just quick test result.
