The SSD market has a myriad of different technologies to choose from. In this video you will learn how to choose the right type of SSD for your industrial application! Solid State drives have a couple features to consider and finding the right type of SSD has become a complex undertaking. SLC, MLC, TLC, QLC, PLC are the more common known differences between SSDs, but there is more to consider. Edge gateways have different requirements than edge computing, machine control has different ones from system capturing large amounts of data. And even among those the kind of data matters, as write amplification depends on how large each write access is.
The following topics will be focused on:
- Comparison: SSD / HDD
- Flash technology overview
- Types of Flash memory
- How Controller and Firmware of the SSD increase lifetime
- Write amplification and SSDs
- Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD)
- Wear Leveling
- Predictive Maintenance to find the lowest TCO
