Endurance Classes Explained
Enterprise SSDs are sorted by how much writing they are built to absorb. Read-intensive (RI, ~1 DWPD) drives suit boot volumes, web tiers, and read-heavy databases. Mixed-use (MU, ~3 DWPD) handles general virtualization and OLTP. Write-intensive (WI, 10+ DWPD) drives serve caching and logging tiers. Choosing the right class avoids paying for endurance you will never use — or burning out a drive you will.
Unlike consumer SSDs, enterprise models add power-loss protection capacitors and consistent latency under sustained load. We stock SATA and SAS models from Samsung, Micron, Intel/Solidigm, and Kioxia, plus Dell- and HPE-branded variants in the correct trays. For PCIe-attached flash, see our NVMe drives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does DWPD mean?
Drive Writes Per Day — how many times the drive’s full capacity can be written daily for the warranty period. A 1.92TB drive at 1 DWPD is rated for ~1.92TB of writes per day, every day.
Can I use a consumer SSD in a server?
It will function, but consumer drives lack power-loss protection and sustained-write consistency, and most RAID controllers and OEM support matrices exclude them. For production workloads, enterprise SSDs are strongly recommended.
SATA SSD or SAS SSD — which do I need?
Match your backplane and controller. SAS SSDs add dual-port redundancy and a faster interface for arrays; SATA SSDs are the economical choice where the chassis and workload don’t demand SAS.
