What do you think about HGST SN260 series

[nephri]

We are looking up for the 1.6Tb model for a VM host server (cf datasheet : https://www.hgst.com/sites/default/files/resources/Ultrastar-SN200-Series-datasheet.pdf)

They looks really good (pcie 8x, good iops,....)
Previously we used for similar setup intel P3600 but now it's a bit difficult to have availabilty of theses (even a P4600).

What do they think about theses disks, someone have tested them ?

Thanks in advance.
Sébastien.

The specs look great, especially on the add in card. With 100% 4k random reads it has more throughput (~4.2 gbyte/s) than a x4 pcie link that's used for u.2 can provide!

It's perfect for VM hosting if you could accept 3DW/D. I have one and I like it.
