I can't really comment on price, I haven't found them anywhere maybe because they are pretty fresh but I think I read they are oem-only to sell in complete systems. That doesn't mean they can't be bought of course.
I was commenting on DWPD of PM863 - at 0.8 DWPD that's pretty terrible and at least in my cluster it would die a horrible death... Keep in mind that when you start approaching the cell lifetime you will get a lot more CRC errors, lot more corrupted (undetectable!) sectors and some of the errors can go undetected until another drive fails (which is when you read the most). And do you really want to change all the drives yearly? I don't think this SSD is suitable for any server for storage, maybe for OS or some read-intensive tasks...
