Choosing the Right Solid State Drive for Your Storage Network

“Without question, this is the most important decision that you
will make: You need to look for a solid state drive that will match
the performance you can deliver and the reliability you need. The
first and most important part of the decision process is
understanding how much data you write and if the writes are in
bursts or at a sustained rate. This is important because for a
number of SSDs, bursty writes hurt performance because of wear
leveling optimization, and the internal bandwidth within the SSD
may not be great enough to handle the incoming writes from the
channel and meet the wear leveling requirements of the
firmware.”
