Writes

Ack.

• Incoming writes are processed in memory, protected in NVRAM and acknowledged resulting in fast write response time.

• Writes to the SSDs are not in the critical latency path

Writes are coalesced together in memory and destaged to SSD

Blocks are always written to new locations

Temporal locality to write metadata alongside user data in a way designed to minimize the number of disk operations required to commit data to SSDs.

Write striping results in maximizing performance and reducing uneven SSD wear

Must meet endurance and performance expectations Write endurance (DWPD) is more critical than NAND type

Warrantied for 5 years Warrantied up to 5 years (regardless of # of writes) Currently use mixed use drives (10 DWPD) Life expectance well beyond 5 years Guaranteed by NetApp
