Wonder if that's why he didn't answer me when I asked how many PBW were left on these cards? I'm sorry for you guys, but glad I didn't pull the trigger on this one!
For the curious, the SX350 works fine with the latest CentOS 7:
# uname -a
Linux iotest-centos 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 7 18:08:02 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# fio-status -a
Found 1 VSL driver package:
4.3.7 build 1205 Driver: loaded
Found 1 ioMemory device in...
So I think I got a 100% unused card. Only 3GB written lifetime:
C:\Windows\system32>fio-status -a
Found 1 VSL driver package:
4.3.7 build 1205 Storport Driver: loaded
Found 1 ioMemory device in this system
Adapter: ioMono (driver 4.3.7)
ioMemory SX350-3200, Product...
I have dual 160 GB ioDrives running under Slackware 14.2. I had to modify a single line of the driver code to get it to compile with kernel 4.4.217. In a striped configuration, I get about 1650 / 1540 for Read / Write.
I also just purchased a SX350-3200 yesterday on eBay for $200. :) Came here...
