I saw these Plextor M6e's for $400 for 512GB --- Plextor M6E M 2 2280 512GB M 2 PCI Express X2 Solid State Drive MLC | eBay
It's really expensive on a per GB basis, but here's the thing - what if I ran a web server on that kind of drive? There is a mysql db but it's like under 20% writes. There's lots of images.
Compared to the P3600/ P3700 going m.2 is much cheaper option.
Think it'd work?
What'd be really awesome is if someone made a 1U size adapter for m.2 drives. I can fit 2 of the 2.5" drives in a short depth chassis, plus these and it'd be great. Boot off of 160gb Intel S3500's in R1. Have 2 of these m6e's mirrored.
