Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded my system by purchasing
https://directmacro.com/storage-devices/storage/ssds.html from DirectMacro - specifically, ultra-fast NVMe M.2 SSDs - aiming to speed up my workflow. Installation went smoothly, and I'm already seeing improvements in boot times and application launches.
However, I'm curious to learn how others in the community are leveraging solid state drives within their systems - be it for databases, dev environments, or VM storage.
Could you share:
What role do SSDs play in your setup? (e.g., database logs, IDEs, virtualization, code repos)
Are you using SATA SSDs, NVMe M.2, or external SSDs?
What are your primary criteria when choosing SSDs? (e.g., speed, endurance [TBW], price, reliability)
Have you experienced performance gains that justified switching from HDDs or older SSDs?
Does DirectMacro solid state drive match up to your expectations in terms of speed and durability?
I'd love to gather real-world insights from this community to help fine-tune my configuration-or explore next-gen storage options.
Looking forward to your setups and recommendations!
