Eeek, those drives are on their deathbeds

10% of 8.8PB is still a pretty decent '880TB' (based on spec sheet for these drives that I found on a 3rd party site (couldn't find the doc on Micron's own site for some reason).

Have you considered the statistical probability of a failure of a drive that has 10% remaining endurance vs 90% endurance?

Lol, these are the perfect home for that critical database you have been itching to deploy

 

[Jaket]

Yeah those legit if 10-20% life left got tossed from a data center and this place salvaged them.

We typically don't even us anything with 60% or less on any deployments unless it's for a select few clients who don't need their data.

 

[BackupProphet]

They will most likely last a lot longer than estimated life left. But I don't think any u.2 1.6tb over 50usd is a good deal unless you already have nvme jbods

 

[TRACKER]

also these are running hot. keep in mind they need really active cooling, not just some silent 120mm fan near them. also 10-20% left - no go for me.

 

[bilson]

Not worth it if only 10-20% left. You can do better. I would pay slightly more for a 3610 if I want high endurance. The various sandisc ecos I’ve bought over last two years all came no lower than 95% left. Last october I scored some 1.6tb 3610s for $60 a piece. All 99% and above but those prices are now gone. Minimum of 50% up for similar drives.

all sold out..

Can't be The STH Effect?

Can't be The STH Effect?

You know those spammy amazon reviews, where someone completely ignored all the negative ones, but somehow fixated on the only positive review to make up their mind...then complained later that they didn't know any better. I'm guessing it's the "all those ppl must be lying to keep the deal to themselves" effect

Wish I'd have seen this earlier, I'd have bought 10 lol
