{"title":"Solid State Drives","description":"\u003cp\u003eTechSellerUSA supplies enterprise solid state drives for servers, storage arrays and workstations - NVMe PCIe, SATA and SAS SSDs from Samsung, Micron, Intel, Kingston, HPE and Dell. All drives are genuine OEM hardware, function-tested, and available as single units or in volume for data centre deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNVMe vs SATA vs SAS SSDs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNVMe drives connect directly over PCIe and deliver the lowest latency and highest throughput, which is what database servers, virtualisation hosts and analytics workloads need. SATA SSDs top out at 6Gb\/s but cost considerably less per terabyte, making them the sensible choice for boot drives, caching tiers and read-heavy workloads. SAS SSDs sit between the two, offering dual-port redundancy and the queue depth that shared storage arrays require. Choosing correctly comes down to whether your bottleneck is latency, capacity or path redundancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEndurance Ratings Matter More Than Capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnterprise SSDs are rated by drive writes per day (DWPD), and this is the specification buyers most often overlook. A read-intensive drive rated at 1 DWPD is perfectly adequate for a web server or file share, but will wear out prematurely in a write-heavy database or logging role that needs a mixed-use or write-intensive drive. Matching endurance to workload avoids replacing drives years earlier than planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOEM Part Numbers and Firmware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServer RAID controllers frequently expect OEM-branded firmware, so a mechanically identical drive from a different vendor may be flagged as unsupported. We list SSDs by exact OEM part number so you can match what your system expects.
