Intel DC P4511 4.0TB NVMe E1.S $170 OBO

[nabsltd]

The DC P4511 is a PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive with 0.5 DWPD, so "read intensive". But with a 4TB size, that gives 3.3PB total write.

E1.S is not a common form factor, but you can find adapter cards pretty cheap.

Listed on eBay, with 8 units available.

If you want to see performance out of these, you will be disappointed. You will spend a full PCI-e slot with an adapter card etc. Considering how they max perform on paper and ....

I put a bid of 70 USD x 4 of them. Even at low Performance IF they accept that Price it would be worth it IMHO.

I couldn't really find a Heatsink though. I guess an M.2 / generic Heatsink at ~ 30 mm x 110 mm plus thermal Pad & Silicone Elastic Band.

The closed M.2 Heatsink Cases are likely NOT compatible due to slightly different Dimensions.

Seller counteracted with 160 USD each. No freaking way I'm paying that .

Be aware, these run HOT ! even with a fan blowing on this with a heatsink attached, it was sitting at 60C idle. Benchmarking raised the temps to past 85C. I didnt hang on to them for long. Those temps scared me off pretty quick.
