Other Read Intensive Drives. Common software use cases.

I have been researching Enterprise SATA drives in M.2 factor. I bought some Micron 5100,5200,5300 PRO/MAX and some Intel S3520,S4510,S4520.
The Intel drives S4510 are READ intensive drives.

Is anybody using these type drives? What is the use case? Obviously database use seems appropriate.

What are some use cases where you used read intensive drives? The write speed seems to suffer on them.

NVMe has overtaken SATA but there is still a need.
 
I understand SLC type drives are the ticket for high volume WRITES.
MLC, no.

It is also my understanding that MLC stands up well to high volume READs.

I use Samsung SSD for my system volumes, and a physical spinning drive for the paging files and TEMP
Years ago I was on contact at Intel when their SSD had a chronic brick-and-die problem.
That left a bad taste in my mouth, so I avoided them.

Today, Intel (Folsom) is a huge empty parking lot.
This further reduces confidence.
YMMV.

Man that is really disappointing.

On top of that I see "Solidigm" Intels spinoff storage business is selling SKHynix drives.
Wow.

How do you go from this:
Intel has a long history of producing some of the most reliable solid-state drives in both the client and data center markets

To spinning off the business and gov taking a stake... In 7 short years.
 
A cash infusion is no cure for inept management.

I was ending my contract the morning 9/11 happened and watched it unfold on my workstation while packing my desk.

Intel stock never recovered.
 
You certainly cannot blame Tan for the mess. Bringing back Pat obviously didn't help.

I read somewhere that INTC was replaced on the DOW with NVidia. Now Nvidia is worth more than all Dow 100 combined?

Read Intensive drives used on certain Read-Only databases? How they plumb that? Different arrays for different databases?
