Not every server workload is all reads. If yours is writing as much as it's reading — transaction logs, email queues, mixed application traffic — a read-intensive drive will wear out faster than the maths suggest. The 5400 MAX is rated for mixed use, so the endurance budget actually works in your favour over time. 2.5-inch form factor with hot-swap capability means you can pull a drive and slot in a replacement without taking the server offline. No maintenance window needed
