Abstract:
SSDs are replacing disks in desktops, laptops and even in some servers. In this talk I’ll discuss why this is happening (i.e., the nice features of SSDs) and discuss a type of workload SSDs does present noticeable improvement over disks. Moreover, I’ll present some results showing (i.e., some bad features) that SSDs are not the right storage media for all applications.
