Toshiba 800GB SSDs - Some more on the market

[Patrick]

Looks like no best offer anymore $675 is still an awesome price:
Toshiba PX02SMF080 Solid State Drive 800 GB Internal 2 5 inch SAS 3 | eBay

These drives are better than the "good" deal $450/ 800GB S3500's: Intel SSD DC S3500 Series 800GB | eBay

(assuming you factor in endurance/ performance.)

I picked up one more as a spare. Too bad the price went up from insanely great to merely a fantastic deal.

I do now wish I snagged more at the price. Have you been able to benchmark them at all? These prices are S3500 levels but the performance/ endurance is way better.

I don't plan to benchmark them - no time. I shoved them into the HP MSA2040 and I'm soak testing now. Once tested, the whole pile of gear is off to Equinix DC2 with an Amazon AWS direct connection. I only need ~20K peak IOPS and ~100MB/s, which is trivial for four of these drives in RAID10.

I need to get mine on a similar trajectory. I have that Intel server which is acting up... will not hold an OS. When it finally does though... will be an awesome server to send to the DC in Vegas.
