Abstract

SSD vendors have designed drives specifically targeted for datacenter based on SAS or PCIe and on SLC NAND technology. Primarily because of the SAS performance and SLC NAND endurance. For many usages, client drives based on the SATA interface and MLC and 3BC technology are more cost effective and can support the endurance and write performance required by the end user. This course presents how client drives can be a cost effective solution for datacenter applications.

Learning Objectives

Understand tradeoffs for using SSDs based on SLC NAND versus SSDs based on MLC NAND in datacenter
Understand how for specific applications how SSDs based on MLC NAND are more cost effective
Understand how to tune MLC NAND to your application needs
