| Are MLC SSDs Safe
in Enterprise Apps? |
Are MLC SSDs Safe? - is a very
popular article which looks at the risks posed by MLC Nand Flash SSDs which
- having hatched from their breeeding ground as
chip modules in
cellphones - have in the past 4 years morphed and crept into many (but

In a
notebook
(where you aren't exactly expecting a 5 nines uptime quality data
experience) MLC SSDs can be a good thing from the
reliability and

But how about in the
datacenter?
Some leading vendors support MLC in enterprise and
industrial grade
SSDs - others don't. Ever wondered why? There's a lot more to the MLC vs SLC
in SSDs debate than simply endurance. |

This classic article explains the technical
differences. It also includes recent updates and comments from industry leaders
to show you why in some cases MLC is a viable solution - but in other cases
it's still not. (No matter how clever the
