The 3-bit MLC V-NAND-based PM863 is developed for mixed pattern applications and ideal for use in content delivery networks and streaming or Web servers. Alternatively, the write-intensive SM863 based on 2-bit MLC V-NAND is an optimal choice for online transaction processing (OLTP) and serves as an ideal choice for email and database servers.

The Samsung PM863 comes in 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, 960GB and now 1.9TB and 3.8TB capacities. It also offers read speeds up to 540 MB/s, and for the 240GB drives and above provides random read speeds of up to 99,000 Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS). The Samsung SM863 provides more options for configurable overprovisioning and is available in 120 gigabyte (GB), 240GB, 480GB, 960GB and now 1.9TB capacities. It also features read speeds up to 520 megabytes per second (MB/s) and write speeds up to 485 MB/s.

Both drives will be available to SMBs in early August 2015. They are already available for the enterprise.

Here's the one I'm very interested in : 1.92TB SM863.

Only 1260U$ for a 2TB solid-state drive with a rated endurance of more than 12TBW

I didn't think you were one to spend that much on an SSD. Other than being more durable, is it worth the extra cost compAred to the 850 pro?

Perhaps not for me personally, but for company servers, the 1.92TB model is very interesting.
