  That seems a little overly alarmist since it assumes that there is no background check-and-scrub going on.

    Read the essay, he is considering it. He's been worried about this issue of latent errors for years; I think it was largely his Storage Mojo postings and the papers he brought to my attention in them that got me so interested in ZFS.

    The price/GB gap between flash and disk is ~30x and it's shrinking slowly, if at all. In 2019 I expect disk to still be cheaper than flash, although flash may be cheap enough for many applications.
