ESG Research Brief: Enterprise SSD Usage is Not a Flash in the Pan
6/30/2009

Despite the fact that flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) offer performance levels more than 30 times greater than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs)—as well as providing other benefits such as higher availability and reduced power and cooling requirements—the cost of flash-enabled storage systems remains a significant roadblock to widespread adoption. In the enterprise market, early adopters have largely been organizations with ample storage budgets, as well as those whose current performance needs justify the significant price delta between SSD and HDD technology. However, the prevailing perception is that there is a fit for flash-based SSDs in an overall tiered storage strategy and that usage will become more ubiquitous as prices decline.
