If you have a box for VMs this is sort of the perfect price/performance for putting that VM on an SSD...or just attaching a raw device to the VM. It's not a super-fast drive, but it'll saturate your SATA3 connection and it'll have more IOPS than an array.
It's temping to get 6 of these just to make a 5.6TB SSD array...but the enclosure will cost as much/more than the drives!

That doesnt make much sense. If youre looking for speed just get a nvme x4 pcie 4/5 with transfer speeds of 6000mb/s and youd beat the hell out of any of these in an array and probably be cheaper without having to enclosure/raid anything
He didn't say anything about speed. I'm kind of in agreement that these prices may open the door for whitebox ssd sans or nases. Mechanical drives may be obsolete even for storage boxes in rhe next decade
Kingston **is** reputable. I've had 1 Kingston SSD fail after about 2 yrs of use as the OS storage, but that was long ago and it was only a 16G m.2 SATA SSD.
As with most Slickdeals, we have to know and understand what the deal is about.

For about $15 more, you're in DRAM territory.
DRAM isn't always a must have, but when it's as cheap as lunch, why not spring for it?

I can't see my little 48T of storage being replaced by SSDs in my lifetime. The costs are just not competitive.
But I can see SSDs being used for OSes only in this next decade. I'm not there currently - only 2 systems of 20 use SSDs for the OS here. There isn't much difference in performance since OSes have had disk caching built in for decades. A small, 250G SSD setup for caching of ZFS **can** make a huge performance difference.
Did everyone see that Intel is dumping their Optane caching solution? Open beats proprietary again.

Give it some time. Ssd storage can scale much better than platters once the race kicks off.
Also, there's no need for ssds to be cheaper to be more preferable. Even costing more, the maintenance is reduced and service contracts are cheaper to implement.
