The great deal is strong with this one. $75-85 less than the XP941. Slower for sure.

I think it's 512GB not 521GB

They don't work with VTd due to a marvell chipset bug. So if you're using VTd in esxi, avoid these... even if you're just using as a datastore drive, and passing through something else.

I had to go out and buy a Samsung XP941 after finding out the issue.

Yes but if you are on a 1150 setup it wouldn't matter terribly much... as they only get 2 pcie 2.0 lanes anyways.
I have a little 128GB m6e on my 2011-3 setup and its nice but I want more... However I am waiting till Samsung releases the faster m.2 ultra drive to the market... The one that makes the xp941 look slow.

Sounds like a good replacement for the xp941 Excited for the performance late summer will bring!
