I am not as up to speed with storage as I would like to but this blog gives you a quick intro for the different types of SSD.
As well, this week struggled a bit with a 100G port that had to connect as 4x25G to some servers. It was a bit of time since I dealt with something similar. Initially I though I had to wait for the servers to power up so once the link in the other side comes up and the switch recognizes the port as 25G and creates the necessary interfaces. But I had eth1/1 only. I was expecting eth1/1, eth1/2, eth1/3 and eth1/4… The three extra interfaces were created ONLY after I “forced” the speed setting to “25G” in eth1/1….. I hope I remember this for next time.
