NVMe boot SSD for enterprise data centers
The use of M.2 NVMe SSDs in data centers is in steady evolution as they offer high boot efficiency for servers to keep valuable front-loading drive bays available for data storage. Whitebox and Tier 1 server OEMs are beginning to equip server motherboards with one or sometimes two M.2 sockets for booting. Although the M.2 form factor was originally designed as a client SSD form factor, its small physical size and high performance make it attractive for server use. SSDs are not all created the same way and using a client SSD in a server application can result in poor and inconsistent performance.
Applications
Boot drives are primarily used to boot an operating system, but in many use cases today the boot drive has a secondary purpose: logging application data and/or configuring as a high-speed local cache drive. Therefore, the DC1000B was designed with an additional lifetime (0.5 DWPD for 5 years) to handle the OS workload as well as the additional write load of caching and data logging. In addition to being designed for long-term reliability, the DC1000B provides consistent enterprise-level performance and low-latency features not typically found in client SSDs.
