Not every workload fits neatly into read-heavy or write-heavy categories. Most real-world applications shift dynamically, VDI environments that burst during login storms, application servers that cache and update simultaneously, development platforms that compile and deploy unpredictably.
Balanced NAND configurations provide solid endurance without the cost premium of pure write-intensive drives, while maintaining responsive read performance for interactive workloads. These drives typically offer 1-3 DWPD ratings, enough to handle moderate write loads while excelling at the mixed I/O patterns that define general-purpose enterprise computing.
