How should I interpret the specifications of a SSD?
- by paulgreg
When considering to buy a SSD, how should I interpret the different specifications of the SSD?
Here are some specific things that need to be deciphered:
Controller (this can affect performance and endurance more than all other factors combined)
Bus Technology
Form Factor (Physical Size)
Capacity
NAND or NOR technology
Power Consumption during Read, during Write, when Idle
Read/Write Burst and Sustained Throughput
All of these things I would like to be explained in more detail and their actual importance in selecting an SSD.
