PCIe vs SATAWhich one to choose?

MySQL and SSD

PCIe for absolute performanceI use it because I have free samples

MySQL and SSD

SATA for performance per $I would use it if I had to buy…

Very good for random readsBoth SLC and MLC

DoubleWrite area is important

MySQL and SSD

DoubleWrite is a protection

MySQL and SSD

DoubleWrite is rewriting the same area

MySQL and SSD

Rewrites of the same area

Consider moving doublewrite • Innodb_doublewrite_file =• Percona Server
