These are a step up from the consumer models and will typically provide better performance and have higher write endurance although still far off what enterprise SSDs provide.

Before moving on to the enterprise models, it is worth just covering why you should not under any condition use the earlier-mentioned models of SSDs for Ceph:

• Lack of proper power loss protection will either result in extremely poor performance or not ensure proper data consistency
• Firmware is not as heavily tested as enterprise SSDs often revealing data corrupting bugs
• Low write endurance will mean that they will quickly wear out, often ending in sudden failure
• Due to high wear and failure rates, their initial cost benefits rapidly disappear

The use of consumer SSDs with Ceph will result in poor performance and increase the chance of catastrophic data loss.
