Default Choosing the Right Solid State Drive for Your Storage Network

From http://www.enterprisestorageforum.co...le.php/3869031


Quote:
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.
