Introduction to Solid State Drives (SSD)

1. What is the usual bottleneck for a computer?

A hard drive is where you may find the bottleneck

2. Do solid state drives wear out in normal usage? Is this relevant?

A solid state drive will be worn out due to normal use over a period of time. This can be relevant if a data center decides that it wants to use SSDs and may need to be replaced sooner since they’re constantly being utilized.

3. In terms of MTBF how long to SSDs last compared to platter based HDs?

Solid state drives last twice as long as platter based hard drives.
