Many organizations implement a “rip and replace” model using cheaper consumer-grade SSDs, and when they inevitably meet their demise under intensive workloads, they’re simply removed and replaced with new drives, increasing the cost of storage.

SMART Storage System’s new CloudSpeed 500 is aimed to fill that gap with a “just right” combination of 3x the endurance of consumer drives at an attractive price.
