The enterprise-grade SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) we carry here at Puget Systems offer an affordable storage option that is far faster and more reliable than traditional hard drives without the expense of PCI-express NVMe models. Housed in a standard 2.5-inch form factor, these drives use the SATA3 protocol with theoretical speeds of around 500MB/s. Real-world performance is affected by a lot of other factors, though, so actual throughput will be lower and depends heavily on the workload and other system parameters. Enterprise-class drives like this also tend to offer slightly less capacity than consumer-oriented models, but in trade have much higher write endurance and thus will last longer in heavy-duty workloads.
