We've been using the PM863 (which is now EOL and replaced by PM883) for years. Stable disks, always a good performance. We feel they're meet the right balance for price, speed and capacity.

We've now got 48 of the 960 GB version of the PM883a in production; they consistently deliver a latency of below 1ms so far but they are only loaded with an average of a 150 write IOPS in that cluster.
