We sat down with Scott Hamilton, Senior Director, Product Management, Data Center Systems at Western Digital, to learn more about SSDs and how they fit into current business environments and data centers.

What features do SSDs need to have in order to offer uncompromised performance for the most demanding servers running mission-critical workloads in enterprise environments? What are some of the misconceptions IT leaders are facing when choosing SSDs? First, IT leaders must understand environmental considerations, including the application, use case and its intended workload, before committing to specific SSDs. It's well understood that uncompromised performance is paramount to support mission critical workloads in the enterprise environment.

PCIe SSD options are available from boot drives to performance NVMe SSDs and they come in different form factors such as M.2 and U.2 to name a few.

How can data centers take full advantage of modern NVMe SSDs? NVMe SSDs are playing a pivotal role in making the new reality possible for the people and businesses around the world.

NVMe SSDs are helping both public and private cloud infrastructures in various areas such as the highest performance storage, the lowest latency interface and the flexibility to support needs from boot to high-performance compute as well as infrastructure productivity.
