For $112.60 these are tempting. What would be a better buy these 480's or a 300GB DC S3500 for $90? Capacity is not a primary concern as I need 8 of each and they would both meet my needs.

The Cloudspeed 1000 is not the E model if it was that'd be an even more great of a deal!

$112.60 / ea for the CloudSpeed 1000 "refurb" (which may just mean new old stock with NewEgg) is a deal, and if I had cash for drives and a need for more I'd be buying at-least 4 of those.

$90 for S3500 300GB is, in my opinion the 'new' price until we run out of those pulls on ebay then it may jump but I think with capacity going up, perf going up, the s3500 300 hopefully stays at 90 maybe drops to 65-75 would be great.

I don't recall the benchmarks but I think the S3500 is a faster drive, but an extra 180gb is tempting!! I think you'd be OK with either, I'd use either. More likely my usage would be 2-4 of the Sandisk at a time which is how I'd run the s3500 but I'd feel more comfortable with the s3500 in larger arrays/pools due to their seemingly awesome (and other intels) life expectancy.

Speed is not a major concern as I'm just going to use them as VM data stores and I don't need anything faster then avg. SSD speeds. Durability and long endurance are more important so I'm leaning towards the 3500s.

The Cloudspeed 1000 for 960GB shows endurance of 3,070TBW (what does this mean for 480GB?) compared to the S3500 of 170TBW for the 300GB and 275TBW for the 480GB.

The spec sheet shows 1/6 DWPD http://ats.avnet.com/na/en-us/suppl...nDisk-CloudSpeed-1000-SATA-SSDs-Datasheet.pdf If my math is correct, for a 480GB, that is 80GB/day or 29.2TB/year or 146TB/5 year. Not sure how you reconcile this doubled to account for 960GB at 292TB/5 year with the 3,070TBW unless it means life of 50 years at that rate?

Bottom line, T_Minus as expected, is right on when he said "I think you'd be OK with either, I'd use either."

The extra space did it for me. Snagged the ones I wanted right before the sale ended. Was worried for a sec b/c the sale did not show up on my orders page, but it did ship. OnTrac says they will be here by end of day tomorrow.
