Thanks @BLinux for your feedback. Interesting to note there could be many sellers on EBay and they are same company.
I do note that there seems to be a s^it load of these drives for sale on EBay.
Great price, almost new. Latest DC 37** SATA model.

Hmmm, 3 of these sure would be nice to replace my 450Gb hitachi 10K's w/ in my CEPH cluster...wish they were $100-125 though, I'll hold out until then :-D

 

[croakz]

How about 3 for $375.

Hi all, what tool is used to check hours and verify the correct firmware is installed?

Hi all, what tool is used to check hours and verify the correct firmware is installed?

Intel SSD toolbox works fine and let you update the firmware easily.

 

[Davewolfs]

Just installed today. About 5 months old and 300GB written. 100%. Updated the firmware. Also updated the firmware on one of my other drives.

I had a 200GB being used as a Zil, Swapped the 400 in for it and and am now using the 200GB as a 120GB L2Arc These drives are fast!

Pretty sure they came secure erased because I was able to resize it with hdparm.

How much RAM do you have in your box? I ask because the max ZIL-size that can be used is one half of the memory installed [1]. To utilize a 200 GB ZIL you need 400 GB RAM at minimum.

My box has 64 GB RAM but I've never seen more than 6 MB allocated of my 20 GB ZIL drive. (But this may depend on the usage ...)

Let me clarify.

200GB drive was resized to 8GB originally.

Now. 400GB drive was resized to 8GB. 200GB drive was resized to around 120GB.

So 8GB zil. 120GB L2Arc. I have 64GB Ram.

I'm using the 400 on the zil because it has slightly faster response time for Random Access.
