Samsung PM863 3.84TB SSD

While the write speeds are garbage, it's nice to see we are finally reaching 2TB+ Capacities in such a small 2.5" factor!

This would be great for someone like me who has like 5 TB of videos so I can finally move them from my external HDD onto a RAID 0 setup of these SSDs (if possible, I hope)



Costs $2094 USD from Amazon = http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Pm863...&qid=1453396202&sr=8-1&keywords=Samsung+PM863

Well, it does have RAID support (with RAID controller).

But the compatibility is not so broad (LSI/ATTO/SuperMicro).

And neither is their warranty, the indicted nand writes (~1450) nor the fact that this is TLC from Samsung.

And the price? More than double of where it should be to be even considered with the above limitations (for the mere storing of videos).

yeah I know, being TLC is a major turn off as those videos are huge and TLC's limited lifespan VS MLC is not appealing. Still, with this being out now, hopefully we will see the same capacities or more for MLC

 

A 13TB 2.5" but 15mm is way to big.
