Match the controller first. If the server has a SAS RAID controller, SATA and SAS SSDs both work, with SAS giving more headroom. If it has NVMe bays or a spare PCIe slot, NVMe offers the lowest latency. For boot drives and general upgrades, a SATA SSD is usually the value choice.

It is the write endurance they are rated for. Read-intensive drives suit workloads that mostly read, such as boot volumes and web or file servers. Mixed-use drives are rated for a higher level of daily writes, which suits virtualisation and busy databases. Both deliver similar read speeds.

Enterprise SSDs are built for continuous use: they carry endurance ratings for sustained writes, keep performance steady under load and typically include power-loss protection to guard data in flight. Consumer SSDs can slow sharply under sustained writes and are not designed for server RAID arrays.

Yes. A 2.5-inch SATA or SAS SSD fits the same bay and caddy as a 2.5-inch hard drive. Build the SSDs as their own array rather than mixing them with hard drives in one array. Send us the server model and we will confirm the controller supports the drives you choose.

They can be, provided the remaining endurance suits the workload. Our refurbished SSDs are tested before listing and covered by the ServerDove warranty. For boot drives and read-heavy servers they are good value; for heavy write workloads, ask the team for a drive with a higher endurance class.

Yes. Send the interface, capacity, form factor and endurance class you need, or the part number from an existing drive, to sales@serverdove.com or on WhatsApp +974 5521 2108. We will check availability, confirm the interface suits your server and send a quotation, including bulk quantities.
