2016 has brought the change that many enterprise customers have been looking for in terms of storage. Flash Storage (SSD) has come down in price dramatically and many organizations are now taking advantage of the speed and reliability associated with flash storage. Most enterprise flash storage options come with an estimated lifetime of 2 to 3 times longer than hard disk drives depending on the application. In some cases it may be even longer. You will also find the IOPs performance of an Enterprise SSD to be more than ten times faster than a hard disk drive.
