Can you please report on SMART data when you receive those?
Thanks.

Except for the size and endurance, what is key difference of Intel 3610 and Samsung P863A? I see that the latter has pretty decent power usage (3W/4W), not sure about Intel's

I only bought two. Both have 0% wearout, no reallocated sectors, 7.5 and 85 TiB written, 376 and 935 POH, high power cycle count around 450, though. No other SMART values stand out.

No idea what the workload was given the low usage but high power cycle count. I am pretty sure power cycling an SSD has no impact on its lifetime, so I feel pretty good about these.

Ended up getting those (20) SM863 1.92TB for $80/ea before pulling the trigger on these S3610 @ $90. Phew.

I'll probably get them early January, I'll test them as soon as I get them.

Got my dirves today, they all are 0 POH, 0 writes and 0 reads and were powered on 3 times. They are new!

Forgot to take snapshot, so connected the drive again and now it shows 4 times powered on.

Congrats on the nice deal! I returned those SM863s due to a firmware bug and regret not getting in on these.
