Our goal is to standardize on commercial-grade Gen 4 NVMe SSDs for laptops and desktops. These SSDs are chosen for their longevity and suitability for business usage, ensuring we provide reliable solutions to our clients.
⚠️ Important Note: Not all vendors explicitly label their SSDs as “commercial grade” or “business grade.” In these cases, procurement should evaluate technical factors that indicate business suitability.
When reviewing SSDs, please check:
📌 NAND Type → Prioritize 3D TLC NAND (more durable). Avoid QLC for business use.
📌 Endurance (TBW / DWPD) → Higher TBW = longer lifespan. Critical for business workloads.
📌 Read/Write Speeds → Look for sustained performance, not just peak numbers.
📌 Controller Stability → Phison, Marvell, Silicon Motion controllers preferred.
📌 Warranty & Lifecycle → At least 5 years warranty with reliable RMA support.
