Jan, thanks for the opinion!
Do you think that 5.11 DWPD is terrible? For example, Intel S3610 has 3 DWPD or 5475 TBW (but for 5 years, of course).
For 1.6TB Intel S3610 it means ~$0.175 per TB written. For pm863 3.84TB the price per TB written will be ~$0.108. And more than twice capacity per drive bay ratio.
For sm863 1.84TB it's even better: $0.057 per TB written. Actually, it's better than for Intel S3710 1.2TB: $0.081 per TB written for Intel. But s3710 has better speed specs of course (the only problem that we have not enough CPU speed for such IOPS, I think).
I found Intel prices on http://google.com/shopping (the lowest ones) and the only one price I was able to find for Samsung - through "Where to Buy" on the Samsung website.
For Intel prices were:
s3610 1.6TB - $1530 ($0.96 per GB of capacity)
s3710 1.2TB - $1780 ($1.49 per GB)
For Samsung:
pm863 3.84TB - $2328 ($0.61 per GB)
sm863 1.92TB - $1324 ($0.69 per GB)
As far as I know these are retail products (they are listed on Samsung Business SSD section) but they aren't avaliable in my country and Support said nothing about timescales.
But I belive these SSDs will be avaliable in Europe and USA soon so I consider them as an alternative to Intel drives for the new cluster I'm working on. The only question is real speed.
Best regards,
Vladimir Drobyshevskiy

pm863 has terrible DWPD, I wouldn't even consider it.
sm863 is better and could be worthwile
But I think both of these are OEM-only. Or can you buy them in bulk somewhere?
