Why SSDs slow down, and how to avoid it
(eclecticlight.co)
Fast SSDs aren’t always fast when writing to them. Even an Apple silicon Mac’s internal SSD can slow alarmingly in the wrong circumstances, as some have recently been keen to demonstrate. This article explains why an expensive SSD normally capable of better than 2.5 GB/s write speed might disappoint, and what you can do to avoid that.

Are SSDs more reliable than hard drives? (2021)

Solid-state drives (SSDs) continue to become more and more a part of the data storage landscape. And while our SSD 101 series has covered topics like upgrading, troubleshooting, and recycling your SSDs, we’d like to test one of the more popular declarations from SSD proponents: that SSDs fail much less often than our old friend, the hard disk drive (HDD).

How Proxmox VE shreds your SSDs – with details

Time has come to revisit the initial piece on inexplicable writes that even empty Proxmox VE cluster makes, especially we have already covered what we are looking at: a completely virtual filesystem 1 with a structure that is completely generated on-the-fly, some of which never really exists in any persistent state - that is what lies behind the mountpoint of /etc/pve and what the process of pmxcfs created the illusion of.
