Reading Time-approximately: < 1 minuteA read-intensive solid-state drive (SSD) is a storage or caching device intended for use with applications that write data infrequently. By Carol Sliwa A read-intensive SSD is able to use NAND flash memory with a lower endurance level than an SSD that targets write-intensive workloads, such as online transaction processing, high-performance computing, and data warehousing. High numbers of writes can cause NAND flash wear-out, and manufacturers of SSDs intended for write-intensive workloads generally use
