Toshiba Enterprise SSD refurb 960,400 and 200 TB

[gigatexal]

I sure picked the right month to get engaged, first the 3710 deal then this...damn.

 

[gigatexal]

I picked up 8x 400GB drives:
View attachment 3133

8.75TB = approximately 22 full disk writes or about 7-8 days worth of drive writes.

BTW the S3710 400GB drives were sub 0.5TBW.

Let's see some raid scores

Are "Total Host Writes" in Crystal Disk Info and "Lifetime writes" in HD Sentinel supposed to be the same or are those being calculated completely differently? I just tested one of the drives and either the data doesn't work or I'm totally not understanding those fields.

I do not know how each are calculating. I just use HD Sentinel Pro to check.

dagger, they shipped me 256GB sandisk SSDs in the toshiba 960GB boxes. even has the right serial number on the box. way to short a brother!

I'm not sure how to interpret this other than something screwy with the smart attributes. Hopefully someone else can shed some light.

Here is one of my drives that went through a successful round of badblocks and some other tests. Can I even hit 56 TB written in 35 hours on this drive?

The Raw Value of your Total Host Writes is E0E3 which an online calculator tells me is 57571 in decimal. Multiply that by 32MB and you get the value Crystal reports and multiply that by 1GB and you get the value the other program reports. If you copy a file several GB large you should be able to determine which one is accurate.

Thanks for the idea. New drive that just got delivered. All I did was format it and assign it a drive for the first set of pics.

The next 2 pics are after I copied over a 15.2 GB file to the drive.

OK so CrystalDiskInfo is the winner.

 

[raileon]

Technically they're both losers lol

I'm not sure which is more troubling, the huge miss on HD Sentinel that you're eventually going to catch or the 7% under report on Crystal Disk that you probably won't ever catch unless you specifically test for it.

I always assumed these things were more accurate...

Just tested my 8 x 400gb SSD

My plan is to put these 8 x SSD in a ceph cluster.

What reported the 15.2 GB? 15.2 GB is ~14 GiB so they might both be right.

 

[Bradford]

Is there any way to determine whether the SMART data has been wiped? I heard of a OCZ enterprise SSD deal from Newegg that was also refurbished, and the reviews for it claimed that the SMART data was wiped - this only became apparent after a firmware update restored the wiped SMART data. That sounds like a load of crap to me, but I'm wondering if anyone here has insight.

My drives report 244 GB, 0 GB (<=400GB version) and 626 GB (<=960GB version). I'm very happy with that, assuming I can trust it, which I am inclined to do.

 

[gigatexal]

That's some pretty good scaling @Marsh thanks for benching them

 

[Boddy]

I opened mine when I lived there..
go to US paypal site and give it a go, it will try and put/au/ in, but just take it out and you can stay on us site.. Have You tried before?

I tried to log into PayPal US but it kept reverting to AU. What I found that seemed to work was logging into EBay USA and once into EBay USA from EBay account settings opening up PayPal seems to fix on PayPal USA site. I haven't gone as far as opening a USA PayPal account as yet but will consider if need arises. Cheers.

 

[Jannis Jacobsen]

If you want, we can share the shipping together. I live in Norway and i have a friend in US that can receive them from Newegg and ship it to me.
I plan to buy 2 x 400GB if they are good for my 2x Supermicro H8DG6-F AMD mobo , but at DCs in NL though

I might be interested in this as well.
2x200gb.
where in Norway are you located?

-Jannis

 

[Jannis Jacobsen]

for those if you who has bought these, do you have the aprox size and weight for the package?
