Squeak!
- SSD Myths and Legends - "write endurance" |
Does the
fatal gene of "write endurance" built into
flash
solid state
disks prevent their deployment in intensive server acceleration
applications - such as RAID
systems? |
It was
certainly true as little as a few years ago.
What's the risk with
today's devices?
This article looks at the current generation of
products and calculates how much (or how little) you should be worried. |

RAM based SSDs have been
used alongside RAID for years - but
flash SSDs are
physically smaller and have bigger capacity (160G in 2.5") and are lower
cost than RAM-SSDs and could actually be configured in standard RAID boxes.
F-SSDs aren't as fast as RAM based products but a single flash SSD can deliver
20,000 IOPs - which when scaled up in an array - starts to look interesting.
