There really is no such thing as a storage bottleneck, while drives can be slow (like you waiting on them while you load) they are not necessarily a problem. A standard SSD would be a great pairing, PCIe SSDs are generally too expensive for their worth, maybe consider an M.2 SSD if you go with a Z170 chipset.
Storage I/O bottlenecks have been a concern for data centers long before virtualization, and its advantages are unmistakable even with the increased bottleneck risks. Therefore, data centers need to seek out methods to address the virtualization-specific bottleneck concerns by offering better ways to manage storage I/O.
“While global battery supply eased in 2023, after experiencing tightness in supply the previous year, the limited supply of transformers has become the new bottleneck of the energy storage supply chain,” says Kevin Shang, a senior research analyst in Wood Mackenzie.
Energy storage creates a buffer in the power system that can absorb any excess energy in periods when renewables produce more than is required. This stored energy is then sent back to the grid when supply is limited.
Batteries are at the core of the recent growth in energy storage and battery prices are dropping considerably. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market, but other technologies are emerging, including sodium-ion, flow batteries, liquid CO2 storage, a combination of lithium-ion and clean hydrogen, and gravity and thermal storage.
There is a growing need to increase the capacity for storing the energy generated from the burgeoning wind and solar industries for periods when there is less wind and sun. This is driving unprecedented growth in the energy storage sector and many countries have ambitions to participate in the global storage supply chains.
