Making a Switch to NVMe
Data: 2021.10.19
 
 
 
As we have seen many changes in the data storage field with the emergence of NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express), the new protocol for high-speed storage, hardware configurations at data centers, and Tier 1 companies have remain almost the same or have considered using a combination of SATA and NVMe drives. Some are hesitant to upgrade, as they have specific concerns such as compatibility, costs of upgrading, and general usage of the new storage protocol. With the growth of data, enterprises may need to rethink how data is captured, stored, accessed, and transformed. ICY DOCK has made it simpler on the new method of how users can easily manage their data that conforms to any computer or server systems out in the market.
 
 
 
 
SHOULD I UPGRADE TO NVMe OR STICK WITH SATA?
 
 
 
The choice between the two protocols would be based on the usage and applications the hardware would be operating. The SATA interface has been standard for a decade and is used across many households and industries, as it is known for its’ reliability and cost-effectiveness. With the latest interface of NVMe, data transfer speed far exceeds SATA transfer rate of 6 Gbps, reaching speeds up to 32 Gbps (or 64 Gbps with PCIe 4.0).
 
 
Another factor to consider is the price of NVMe SSDs (particularly M.2 drives) has decreased over the past recent years as it entered mass production to meet supply and demand.  Prices for the same capacity between SATA SSDs to NVMe M.2 SSDs can differ about 10 to 15%, making the jump between SATA SSDs to NVMe M.2 more reasonable. If throughput and speed is a priority for your usage, the switch to NVMe M.2 would be the superior choice.
 
PCIe U.2 NVMe (2.5” form factor version) SSDs are frequently used for enterprise industries where MTBF (mean time between failure) is an important consideration. U.2 drives generally have a higher MTBF compared to M.2 NVMe drives. Cost are significantly higher, but if longevity and speed are your concerns, using U.2 drives would be the best option.
 
 
The alternative affordable method would be purchasing the M.2 NVMe SSD that is widely available and pairing it with our EZConvert MB705M2P-B to mimic the form factor of a 2.5” U.2 drive with the same SFF-8639 connection. It makes a perfect combination without sacrificing any performance or speed, at a lower cost.
 
 
WHY ICY DOCK NVMe ENCLOSURES?
 
 
ICY DOCK has more than 24 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, branding, and distributing computer data storage and enclosures that have been used and approved by Tier 1 companies such as Google, HP, the US Armed Forces, and more. The NVMe line is mostly part of our ToughArmor Series, our enclosures can be deployed to the toughest and harshest environment possible as the housing and tray is made out of full metal construction.
