Full FeedSolid state drives in servers? It’s coming.
Fusion-io, who has an awesome front page image (as seen above), is working with Samsung to put in solid state drives into servers. The first thought I had was, “Why?” After all, solid state drives make a lot more sense for portable electronics like laptops since they can increase battery life and avoid damage when moved around. Servers aren’t exactly known for their portability.
So why do this? It’s actually about the lifespan of drives. Traditional hard drives have moving parts which inevitably fail in the long run. Why not put in a drive with no moving parts? Samsung is bringing the NAND flash and Fusion is bringing its ioMemory controller.
Now the only thing holding down server uptime will be the operating system, hackers, and people who trip over Ethernet and power cables.
