I've done some digging, and it looks like the 900p is a cheaper version of the 4800X.
The biggest difference in the two is endurance, the 900p can sustain 10 drive writes per day, whereas the 4800X can sustain 30 drive writes per day.
I'm looking at these as a fast storage for SQL Server logs. When writing we queue up and this becomes the bottle neck.
Does the endurance matter if I'm only writing .1 DWPD on this?
You can find these for about $1/GB on eBay brand new, which seems reasonable. It's slightly more expensive than a Samsung 960 Pro, but the performance is better too.
Thoughts?
