Was browsing their clearance stock and most discounts are meh. This one is @ 90% off.
Yes, only 480gb but this is enterprise drive.
Great price if you have a Dell server and you want to chuck it full of fast storage. Showing as 5 available.
He's probably asking if this is good value for money compared to a consumer SSD such as a Samsung 870 Evo for example. If both same storage capacity and same price which one would be better to buy lol.
Which one has better longevity based on mcl v tcl v qcl for example lol.
You didn't answer his question lmao 🤣
@danvelopment: It's basically the same as asking, "Is XYZ Xeon better than a normal consumer processor?"
"What's a normal consumer processor?"
@danvelopment: Maybe you could work on your inference skills. Could have easily given an example lmao. Was easy to say for example the 870 Evo is better than the Dell drive above.
Stay mad :P
ilu btw ;) <3
For a normal home/gaming PC, not really. It may have better longevity than other consumer drives, but not enough to be worth ~50% more.
Server drives are normally rated for 'x' amount of drive writes per day, and meant to be writing to the drive all the time, but if you're just using it for a home PC, you're not going to be doing anything like that.
Consumer SSDs also have the same metric, they just hide it in the spec sheet.
For example, the Samsung 870 EVO linked here:
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/internal-…
Has a warranty of 5 years or 300TBW in 500GB, which is 300,000GB/500GB/5years/365days = 0.32DWPD.
Which is actually greater than the 0.3DWPD of the S3510 which this drive is often based upon.
Thank you answering the question above properly lmao :D
Probably eMLC with much higher DWPD. Could be useful for something with a lot of throughput - like a very busy linux router etc.
Realistically speaking, you don't need an enterprise grade SSD. My home consumer SSD from 10+ years ago still work fine to this day. And if you have proper storage redundancy, you don't really need this. I can't think of the last time my drive has failed and even when it did, I just put in a new one and my data gets replicated back to full health again.
If you want enterprise reliability then the last thing is to buy a 2nd hand enterprise SSD (or hard drive for that matter)
They ̶a̶r̶e̶ were brand-new.
They are out of stock…
Past tense…
is this any better than normal sata SSD?
