Would expect 4,5-5years on them and under 100tb write indeed.pickup 1 for $40. Crystal Disk reported 99% health. In operation for 4.8 yrs. 15TB writes, 150TB reads.
Thanks, that's exciting to hear. Mine don't arrive until Monday.pickup 1 for $40. Crystal Disk reported 99% health. In operation for 4.8 yrs. 15TB writes, 150TB reads.
Running what purpose?Im upgrading/expanding vSAN, hitting the ceiling of what my current 10gbe and drives can do.
Upgrading to 6hosts with
- 40gbe vSAN port
- 1.6tb P3605 pcie cards as caches
- 7x sm863a 960gb per host
I don't pay much attention to hours on an SSD if it has low writes. Unlike a spinning disk, I don't think there is anything to wear out in an SSD that is just being read.Closer to 7 years POH though
Right, what's 50k hours when you've got 2 million hours MTTF...I don't pay much attention to hours on an SSD if it has low writes. Unlike a spinning disk, I don't think there is anything to wear out in an SSD that is just being read.
Hi @Cruzader,Looks like il get my 25 from that seller end of the week.
Got another 20 coming from a diffrent seller also.
Need 42 so if any issues with any hopefully not more than 3.
Picking up first package of 25 today, will probably check numbers and see that all do normal speed tonight.
Unless you got the 25/40/50gbe and full nvme storage to jump on the express vSAN id not touch 8 yet.vsan on esxi 7 or 8?
