INTEL DC P4600 2TB HHHL TLC NVME - $1449

[Samir]

I wish I could afford such a fast piece of equipment, and it looks like this is a couple of hundred dollars less than what I've found elsewhere:

You are comparing a brand new product with more endurance and better performance to a used one.

LOL!!! 11PB vs 9PB I don't think endurance is a deciding factor.

150,000 more write IOPs and read IOPs that might be a deciding factor though Then again you could buy 3x of the P3600 series for more endurance, capacity, and more overall performance (even random writes though lower overall will handle > mixed workload and thus > perf.)

Obviously new/used warranty/support/etc is what should REALLY be the deciding factor

P3600 while not 'new' anymore is far from a slug!

 

[Nizmo]

P3608 for the win!

Yeah the P3600's are still a very good SSD, I am using one in one of my servers. What I'm saying though is that you in general just can't compare refurbed/used equipment. You don't know how many writes those SSD's has have had. Perhaps they've not been used very much or perhaps they have been pushed to the limit.

Same with cars, you always know what you get when you buy a new one but one with 100.000km's that is cheaper might have a much shorter lifespan depending on how the previous owners used it.

And then there's the warranty of course.

Yeah, generally when I look at stuff in the CDW outlet, I only think it is a good deal if it's significantly cheaper to buy the same product somewhere else. Otherwise, anything they've got listed there are waaaay expensive compared to ebay prices.

The one you could not tell is P3605 and most other OEMs, for retail products like P3600 you can always read the correct stats from ISDCT
