My case airflow is already good enough to keep a 300w rtx 3k series cool I'm not worried about 30w.Pcie 2.0 x8 and 630MB/s + 95,000 IOPS writes. These cards also run hot with active power at 30W.
I would pass.
These drives are most likely exactly what a couple people on here may be looking for/need. Thanks for postingI've heard endurance on these is great. I think the linux kernel has drivers from my research. I guess I'll find out I thought these were "fair" performance cards & at sub $100/TB I thought it was decent. I don't need a whole lot of writes, my vms are mostly read. It is a shame every time I post a deal the negative nancies come out. Hopefully someone can make use of these. I snagged two. If you don't like them you can always return them, although at your own cost. Shouldn't cost much to return 2 pci-e cards.
Lol, sorry if you got that impression, was just mentioning itIt is a shame every time I post a deal the negative nancies come out. Hopefully someone can make use of these. I snagged two.

I think this runs under the "mtip32xx" mainline kernel driver. When I get it I'll post something up in the storage forum.might be annoying to run in linux. The fusion IO drives at least have people working on keeping the drivers alive on modern kernels, I wasn't able to find the same for these (though perhaps looked in wrong place)
If that's the case, then they are much more usable than I thought and my Google fu failed meI think this runs under the "mtip32xx" mainline kernel driver. When I get it I'll post something up in the storage forum.
Looking more at Smart Attributes according to what others are saying it looks like it could be new. The percentage of lifetime used attribute is supposed to be attribute 202 and it is 0 so that is good. Power on minutes should be attribute 241 and it started at or near zero and is counting up as expected now. Bad block attributes 170-174 are all zero.Received, downloaded drivers from Micron site for Windows and their Storage Exec GUI. Works fine (HP model) but their Storage GUI says the drive has met it's lifetime TBW. Drive seemed like it might have been new. It was pristine and there was a Micron info card sealed in a packet with alternate half height bracket and the info card had the old driver url address on it like it was original electrostatic packaging. So I wouldn't have been surprised if it was new.
So surprising it says TBW has been met which is true is disappointing. It is performing at specs in Crystal Disk Mark.
Anyone else receive one and test?
