    • I haven't actually tried one of these drives yet, but I will be trying mine when it arrives on Thu Jun 28th, glad I live near NewEgg's NJ shipment center.

    It's certainly a lot cheaper than my somewhat newer OCZ Vertex 4 that has very similar specs. Great reviews, including PC Perspective.

    $0.74 per gigabyte is a pretty impressive price, with no shipping charges (US only), from NewEgg.

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
