What's the crash-safety/power-loss durability on these guys?
The press release mentions OLTP workloads, but if they don't have supercaps or a battery or something, you'd have to be an absolute idiot to trust your data to them, no matter how compelling the performance numbers. The pictures don't show any connectors for a battery or capacitor-looking doodads (or at least anything I recognize as such), so I'm extremely skeptical. Unf., the linked site is down for "maintenance", and some quick googling yields nothing on-point.

- jpitz 15y agoIf they don't cache writes, and they honor fsync calls, then not having a supercap isn't such a liability. That said, when a vendor announces a enterprise-targeted storage product without mentioning reliability, it likely isn't there. There's never any excuse for failing to perform your own power-plug tests.
