SSD endurance measures how much data a drive can write before NAND wear-out, not how long it will run.
SFF refers to 2.5-inch drives, and LFF refers to 3.5-inch drives; the bay, not the drive, sets the limit.
Compute-Storage Synergy: High-performance compute clusters rely on equally fast storage systems; slow data delivery causes GPU starvation and reduces cluster ROI.
