Has anyone ever heard of (or has any experience with) Winkom Powerdrive SLX-8 SSD?

Its specification looks quite interesting: 550/520 MB/s, random 4k IOPS 80k/68k, SLC (Intel NAND flash), SF-2281 controller. Price 289€ for 128GB seems to me to be suspiciously low for SLC. Moreover I did not find any test, review, nothing...

I cannot comment this one as I do not use.

I use quite many Winkom SSDs (>50) like the SL-8 - 100 as ZFS ZIL (a special version with supercap) and the MLX (MLC) edition for SSD only ZFS storage pools with very good experiences regarding performance and service of WinKom.

Ex.
We ordered about a dozen of SSDs when we found out, that they have all the same serial and WWN (two years ago). A nogo with ZFS but quite common with some other vendors at this time. Winkom modified their SSDs on next release and we were able to send them back for the newer ones.
