What I am really surprised by is the price of the enterprise ones (samsung PM1735, you can get a 3.2tb for like £600). Barely more expensive than consumers with massive performance (8GB/s read) and endurance. Not sure where is the catch.
- wtallis 6y agoThe catch is that pricing and availability for grey-market enterprise drives is wildly inconsistent, and you often don't get a manufacturer's warranty. Also, enterprise drives don't use SLC write caching, so their peak write performance is usually substantially lower than on a consumer SSD. And not that it matters much for a desktop, but enterprise drives also don't do idle power management, so they stay pretty warm even when you're not using them.
