Samsung PM863a Enterprise SSD SATA 6Gb/s 3.84TB 4TB

Looks like a good deal - $850/obo for 3.84TB ssds with plenty to go around.
Wished I was in the US. And had a bunch of money

I'll wait for some of the more adventurous members to figure out what sort of offers are being accepted.

 

[zeynel]

lets try

1. $1,050.00( 2 x $525.00 ) was declined.
2. Your offer of $1,230.00( 2 x $615.00 ) was declined.

Looks like MDD is selling the same drives refurbished on Amazon.com for the same price.

Maybe not such a good deal. They're not exactly selling quickly. 18 sold in about 6 days.

true. I assume its due to a limited willingness to accept lower offers and probably the high overall costs

I guess telling people in the listing that they have 400 of them wasn't the best play. Buyers just have to wait the seller out.

Anyone interested in combining our buying power and making an offer on a larger quantity for a lower price?

Ideally this would be meditated through a more trusted member of the STH community.

Now the seller is raising the price now that they've sold a few. Good for them.

What is the a for in PM863a?

 

[Patrick]

I belive the "a" is a new generation of 3D VNAND.

Interesting. If there was a 1-2TB capacity at 50% of the cost, I would hop on these. I might pick up one for personal use though.

Holy cow, they bumped the price up to $1K/pop! They are also trying to get some publicity on SD, although, unsurprisingly, at that price that thread isn't doing too well...

 

[T_Minus]

Sold 60+ and they have 400+ prices should come down again I would hope

I would hope as well, but they seem to be selling better the higher they raise the price.

Did anyone notice the partial chart posted within product photos?
PM863A -> 0.8DWPD @ 5 yrs
SM863 -> 3.6DWPD & 10.0DWPD w/ both @ 5 yrs
Good or Bad?
