Intel 1.92TB 6Gb/s 2.5" SATA TLC Enterprise Server SSD with Sequential Read Up To 560MB/s and Sequential Write Up To 510MB/s

Great Value. Great Drive.

I have been using this drive for proxmox over a year with no complain. First on a Lenovo Tiny and now on a x570 board. Zero problems.

The unit I received is a s4510 made about a year ago. The warranty starts from the date of manufacture so you automatically lose a year of warranty. The seal is also partially broken so I can't determine whether it is used or not. The contact looked fine through two layers of plastic but I could not get better details without breaking the rest of the seal. Can't take the risk and the unit is returned.

This is one of those products that shows how SSDs are supposed to be - they need to be this good!This product exceeds by specs any desktop SSD - its TBW are many times higher, it is reliable, it is meant to go into hardware RAID arrays, you can use it for production-grade database storage (with billions of transactions), you can use it even in your video camera system!Yes, it is by now an old-fashion SSD and "only" 550MB/sec - you get a lot more reliability for this speed, so the trade-off is beyond good.At this price - you should be buying them in pairs! There is no reason to have those not in RAID.

I bought this for my old desktop and it very fast, speed up my Windows 7 machine.

Reading Smartctl showed they had many hours of use, 5,000 to 25,000.

Received well on time and same as shown. worked in my HP Storeasy 1650 Server so smooth. i replaced the OS SSD RAID 1 drives as they completed 68,000 hours with these SSDs. No issues at all with both SSDs i bought. Excellent purchase and vendor commitment. Will return for more purchase...
