How do they stack up against enterprise options like the Intel Optane DC3700? In this video, we cover the performance differences between consumer and enterprise-grade SSDs, focusing on their role as ZFS log devices (SLOGs). Marketing specs might claim blazing fast speeds—but that’s only part of the story. If you're building a homelab, NAS, or business storage server, knowing what actually works can save you from frustrating bottlenecks or even data loss.
