The video explores the challenges of running SE (SATA Express) on consumer NVMe drives, particularly highlighting instability and reliability issues when used with Proxmox, and warns against using consumer-grade TLC flash for such workloads 0:29.
Key Takeaways:
• Consumer NVMe drives with TLC flash are not reliable for SE workloads; they exhibit instability under real-world conditions 0:29.
• The creator initially intended to compare enterprise-grade drives like Meimble, Kyia, and Samsung enterprise class, but shifted focus to consumer drives for a more accessible test 0:43.
• Proxmox performance and stability have improved significantly in the past year, making it a more viable platform for such tests 0:25.
Real-world testing reveals that consumer-grade drives fail under sustained SE workloads, emphasizing the importance of enterprise-grade storage for production environments.

Well, it it started out simple enough. I just wanted to do some SE testing, long-term performance evaluation of these Mimlaze drives that I reviewed previously. The Pblaze 7 7A40, but the real world real world plan doesn't survive contact with problems. Seph and Proxmox is a big deal. It's come a long way in the last year. Things have taken a turn here. And the anecdote is don't run Seth on consumer NVME. It's like this is TLC flash. This is TLC flash. I thought that'll be a good comparison. Surely you can run Seph on consumer flash a little bit. I'd intended for more enterprise drive comparisons like Meimble and Kyia and Samsung enterprise class drives. Maybe even some SolidM class enterprise drives, but just for fun, let's throw in some consumer drives, the Solid P44 Pros, because these …
