Does anyone in this thread have a sense of what good pricing is on enterprise NVME drives? I have a line on a couple of 2.5" 400gb Samsung XS1715's for ~$260/ea (OEM branded). Seems like a decent deal, but all of the comps I can find in this forum are older or for regular SATA/SAS drives. :)

400GB XS1715 is a very old relative to NVME drives.
Has terrible read latency, bad write latency but IOPs are not bad:

50C per-GB or less for OEM on that old stuff and 50c-65c per-GB on OEM new Intel and on warranty items whatever you want that's cheaper than retail that works for you :D

The XS1715 discussion might be a different thread? I moved this to the HD/ SSD section.

@workingnonstop I can tell you that you HAVE used these drives before. E.g. the 800GB versions are hosting some of STH :)

Faster than SATA for sure. OK write endurance but they run much hotter than the Intel NVMe drives. You do need very good cooling for them just like the Micron p320h's.

I am not sure on the 400GB drives but other than the P3700 and 350GB p320h I am not buying PCIe/ NVMe drives that small too often.
