I'd just spend the extra $50 and get a Samsung Pro series.
Used to be a big Seagate fanboy, but after we lost several dozen of their Constellation 'enterprise' drives at work. I had to concede my fanboyism to WD for HDD and Samsung for SSD.
The Seagate that earned my respect back in the 9.1GB SCSI drive days is not the same Seagate making drives today .
Even noting that this is an enterprise grade SSD with a power loss protection circuit and MLC as opposed to something like 3D TLC on newer consumer drives it's still a bit overpriced IMHO. But it's a decent compromise if you're looking for an enterprise grade SSD without the high inherent cost associated with them. The gap between consumer and enterprise in the SSD market is narrowing with only a few standout features like power loss protection and higher tier NAND cells as the differentiator, an SSD like this is unlikely to fit most people's use case. If you absolutely need these features though and are willing to compromise a bit on performance and price compared to consumer SSDs, this isn't a bad option.
CalaverasgrandeIt's good to bring in the prosumer tier, like the 860 PRO, but make no mistake: the 4,800 TBW rating is for the 4TB model; we're comparing ~250GB drive endurance above, for which the 860 PRO offers 300TBW.
Why is everyone complaining about the price? These are not your standard SSD, these are enterprise grade and generally more expensive than a standard one. This is actually a good deal considering this exact SSD sells for around $140+.
Can you get a cheaper SSD? Yes, but it wont be enterprise grade.

Epic_EnkiduGiven my experience with Seagate, “Enterprise Grade” is probably their entry into passable quality. It‘s got to be nice and cheap for me to give them another shot at corrupting all of my data with a crap drive again.
Yea, diluting the good mix of products to show MOAR products is probably a bad idea. I've stopped clicking some links in the daily emails because of this.
$109 + shipping for a 240??? That odd. Usually one can buy something comparable for less than 90. And usually on sale for 60ish. (Speeds might varry, but it still is a 240gb 2.5" SSD)
Also I'm pretty sure a name pcie 240gb is cheaper than this.... :/
Is there something I'm missing or is this just a terrible deal?
It might be worth listing "Enterprise Grade" or something like that somewhere in the name or at the top of the product description. I was at little confused at first too.
PoblopuabloFor those unfamiliar with enterprise vs. consumer SSDs, the major difference is the wear cycle. Enterprise drives are meant to be written/erased/rewritten many, many more times than consumer. (Other differences include the command set, general construction, and usually the support contract, but I wouldn't buy this for support here.)
There is no reason to get these if your machine is for playing games, banking, etc. Generally, these are for, e.g., running databases, queues, caches and that sort of thing 24/7.
What he means is that one of the picture clearly shows a disk with the writing arm which is a standard mechanical hard drive and not a SSD. This has to be an error and the y included that picture by mistake. You can get a 2 terabyte hhd for around $100 so no way this is one.
