lol. you are backpedaling. it is what it is. Enterprise-class MLC, no denying that. on the SSDs.
the pcie devices arent "high-end" SSDs. they are high end pcie devices.
The eMLC is on the enterprise SSD.
so...the eSLC is on the pcie device, and the Enterprise Class SSD has eMLC.
next gen enterprise SSD----> eMLC.
lol to say that the drive v device doesnt matter is ridiculous. how many PCIe devices can you fit in a server? now...lets do a thought process...you can put that same amount of raid cards on there with 128 drives
EACH SLOT. you are talking about server real estate, one of the most valuable things in the world to data centers. they arent in the same class or segment, dont begin to pretend they are.
remember that part about if there was some significant advance that was made they would patent it? LOL there it is, eMLC, cMLC, MLC-HET, they are there guys
SLC for SSDs is dead. that has already been said in many places. the price v value performance just isnt there.
Much like Google uses consumer HDD in all of its servers, instead of enterprise SAS drives. At the end of the day, its cheaper per transaction to run the damn consumer drives.
Same thing applies with the SLC drives. thats why no one is really
ting their pants to push SLC next gen SSD. the price v advantages just arent there.
SOOOO instead of Intel selling google and the likes tons of these Intel 310s, they figured, hell if you cant beat 'em, join em. the endurance is there with the new class of MLC anyway.
so go ahead and make the enterprise drives a good value and ridiculously awesome with the MLC and sell the hell out of them.
