### [NVMe hardware raid now available at XLHost](https://blog.xlhost.com/blog/nvme-hardware-raid-now-available-at-xlhost)

PCIe NVMe SSDs have been available for enterprise/datacenter deployments for several years. With the performance of the typical NVMe SSD being ten to fifteen times greater than the average SATA SSD it has been very tempting to deploy these drives for applications that require a lot of IOPs, storage throughput, or both. Up until now using NVMe drives in servers has come with compromises related to resiliency and overall performance. While the drives themselves have redundant NAND flash memory, the drives could still fail in a number of ways which could impact the availability of applications.

SSDs have been generally available for mainstream enterprise and consumer use since about 2008. As the average price per GB of SSD rapidly declines and the performance, reliability, and endurance continues to increase; many enterprises are turning to SSD storage as a way of delivering the data their applications need to achieve outstanding performance.
