I'm using a RAID0 of two Intel 160 GB multi-level cells. One I bought in the middle of 2009, one at the end of 2009.
Both are under constant use (that raid is the only drive in my development machine) and they run fine so far.
At home I'm running two 256GB multi-level SSDs also from Intel, also in a RAID0. I bought them last December after having one Corsair SSD in a previous RAID0 attempt constantly losing some data (the other one was fine).
3 other people in the office are running SSDs (also 160GB Intel) since the end of 2009. OSes include MacOS X, Ubuntu and Windows XP and now 7.
All work fine so far and I'm not seeing any of the often quoted reliability issues (aside of that one that was defective from day 0 which happens with hard drives too)
And before you ask about the safety of using a RAID0: No I don't have backups but also, no, I don't need backups as all the important files are in git and all of my profile is on Dropbox.
- gardarh 16y agoThis is off topic, but isn't Dropbox essentially a backup service? Also, having your important files in git isn't really helpful unless you git repo is remotely stored and backup up. For your sake I hope it is.
