Backend database applications relay on good storage systems for performance, durability and low latency. SSDs have been a great invention that changed the storage game compared to mechanical drives. However, SSDs came with their own sets of problems which can cause database reads and writes to plummet after a while. This episode discusses the current limitations of SSDs include garbage collection, wear leveling, over provisioning and how zoned namespaces “may” fix this.
