I ordered 24 of these - none had a problem.

Decent performance for the price - definitely faster than SAS 10k drives when it comes to IOPS. Those 10,000 SAS can run slightly faster on sequential reads. Reading a sequential large file got me around 1GB/s, but swapping out for these SATA SSDs got me around 700MB/s - still good enough for what I need. But the BIG improvement is virtual machine loading. If I need to shut down the server and spin up 7-10 VMs, it's done in about 30 seconds. Whereas those 10,000 SAS drives took 10-15 MINUTES.
