Intel 15.36TB U.2 NVMe SSDs for $895 OBO New

[MiniKnight]

Here's the listing: INTEL SSDPE2NV153T8 15.36TB D5-P4326 2.5in U.2 NVMe SSD *New Bulk* | eBay

15.36TB Intel D5-P4326 and listing says they're new

They're Gen 3 drives only and QLC. But, that's a lot of NVMe capacity for cheap. It's like 3 times a hard drive cost.

Its almost to the price that you'd start skipping hard drives for backups.

No sales tax through their website so far as I can tell: INTEL SSDPE2NV153T8 15.36TB D5-P4326 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD - SMART IT Hardware and Services

They've got a merchant verification failed logo on the bottom of the site. Also, they'll take under $870 ea via fleabay OBO

wow I have never seen that merchant error before, wild. core4 is a very active vendor on ebay though.

It's just some JS from Norton. Doesn't mean their website is unsafe.

 

[Magnet]

they probably didn't pay Norton

That’s some ultra low endurance. About 0.2 DWPD?

You can get the D7-P5520 for about 50% more than that with 5X the endurance and much, much better performance if you’re doing more than reading.

Using the 5520 in my Veeam B&R server and I have found it to be a great value.

That's still 3TB a day

That is worst case (nothing but 4K random writes). Larger sequential writes give 0.9DWPD endurance.

The D7-P5520 is rated at "up to 1 DWPD". This pretty much tells me that the specs for the P4326 are honest, while the P5520 has the same kind of "much worse if all you do is 4K random", but doesn't quantify it.

Good points!
