Key takeaways
- 4,465 listings match this collection right now.
- Mixed-use is rated at roughly three full-capacity writes per day across the drive's rated service life, three times read-intensive's write budget, at the cost of capacity given to overprovisioning.
- RAID parity rebuilds and cache-flush activity after a controller failover push extra writes onto surviving drives, which is why mixed-use is a common replacement pick for a dual-controller array member.
- A mixed-use drive running a continuous logging workload wears through its rated endurance faster than the class was designed for; write-intensive is the class built for that duty.
Mixed-use is the middle endurance class, rated at roughly three full drive writes per day. It is the default for virtualization hosts and general database duty, and the class to match when replacing a member of an existing mixed-use array.

How to choose solid state drives
Interface first: SATA drives work on a SAS backplane, SAS drives do not work on a SATA-only controller, and NVMe connects over PCIe lanes in U.2, U.3, M.2, E1.S or add-in-card form factors that are not interchangeable with each other. Then the endurance class the workload needs, stated as drive writes per day. Then whether the listing includes the hot-swap tray, which every listing name states.
