Many consumer-grade SSDs deliver high write speeds only for the first few hundred gigabytes, after which performance drops significantly. This is because they are designed for short bursts of high performance rather than sustained workloads. However, applications such as AI, data centers, high-frequency trading, and next-generation storage solutions demand consistent high-speed data recording across the entire capacity of the drive.
Design Gateway’s NVMe-IP for Gen5, when paired with enterprise-grade SSDs, enables sustained high-speed recording without the typical speed degradation seen in consumer SSDs. In testing, an enterprise SSD maintained a steady 11 GB/s write speed over 6.4 TB of data, while a consumer SSD dropped to just 3.2 GB/s after only 233 GB of writes. For workloads that require reliable, continuous high-speed performance, the combination of NVMe-IP for Gen5 and enterprise-class SSDs is the ideal solution.
