Would four 2TB SSD be more or less expensive than one 8TB SSD? And also counting power efficiency and RAID complexity?

- adgjlsfhk1 1y ago4 small drives+raid gives you redundancy.

- foobiekr 1y agoGiven the write patterns of RAID and the wear issues of flash, it's not obvious at all that 4xNVME actually gives you meaningful redundancy.
