Mainstream workloads and use cases such as general purpose servers, object-based storage, and online analytical processing tend to cluster in the high-read, low-write mix ratio (e.g., 80/20), and because the mix of writes is relatively low, drives with sufficient petabytes written (PBW) can service these workloads. Read-intensive workloads such as CDNs, data pipelines, VoD services, and large, sequential databases cluster in the mostly-read-with-occasional-writes ratio (e.g., 90/10 or higher), and, like their mainstream counterparts, value high throughput.
Engineered to deliver TLC-equivalent read performance and massive petabytes written, the D5-P5430 supports both mainstream and read-intensive workloads by providing unique density, efficiency, and serviceability advantages without sacrificing performance.
When compared to widely adopted PCIe TLC SSDs, the D5-P5430 can support up to 4x more capacity in the same space [1] while delivering equivalent read performance and up to 14% higher lifetime writes. [2]
