How does the real-world performance of this drive compare to, say, a Kioxia CD-6?

I don't have Kioxia CD-6 to compare to. But here's the crystalDiskMark results I got from Micron 7400:

Your main problem would be other labbers looking for a few pcs not really the resellers imo.

If im looking for something like 5pcs for lab getting it at 30% below normal price would be a decent deal.
As a reseller you can get most types of (atleast used) for a bigger discount than that all day.

Would really expect the volume of labbers buying it to exceed the few resellers that would overpay for list prices rather than approach sellers for volume.

You don't know what some of us find in our searches.

I think if every one of us that peruses for deals posted all our links publicly, then resellers--small or not--would buy all the stuff and leave us with nothing. The reason I think this is because it happens regularly here and that's just on one or two items that are posted.

What about great a megathread where everyone can post deals, and discuss the deals. Subcribing for mail updates on that thread will be be difficult since at least 1 of 10 posts are discussions. If the deal is still alive after 24 hours, admins can move it and belonging comments into its own thread for further discussion.

Or we could have a dedicated forum for that so admins wouldn't have to do so much work-- oh wait...
