Enterprise Hard Drives VS Consumer Hard Drives VS Enterprise SSDs – Which Will Die First? (Part 1)



Enterprise Hard Drives VS Consumer Hard Drives VS Enterprise SSDs – Which Will Die First? (Part 1)

Enterprise Hard Drives VS Consumer Hard Drives VS Enterprise SSDs - Which Will Die First? (Part 1)

Every second Tuesday, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.

This week, Doug and Brett are here to talk about an ongoing project/experiment that we have been working on inside our lab that will give us further insight into storage media.

In this video, we are looking at the lifetime of consumer hard drives versus enterprise hard drives versus enterprise SSDs, when writing to them constantly over a long period of time. Which drives will die first? That’s what we aim to answer in this ongoing experiment. In this video, you will be able to see real output data provided by a powerful tool called fio.
