Didn't test samsung huh?
I've been exclusively using Samsung and Intel SSD for production machines- however I'm not too worried about the power cutting out. With dual power supplies and several diesel generators in my datacenter, I'll be okay.
- sjwright 13y agoI've heard numerous stories of racks losing power for innumerable stupid reasons, such as mislabeled wiring, misconfigured wiring, misguided UPS migration procedures, and yes, in one case, where cleaners tripped over a cable. Point is, even the best systems aren't infallible. It's always, always a matter of reducing and/or managing risks.
- vidarh 13y agoWe had one of our racks losing power for a whole day because smoke started pouring out of a UPS at the data centre, triggering the fire alarm, causing the fire department to demand a full shutdown before they could send people in... No fire, but a failed component in the UPS. Supposedly the first time the manufacturer had ever seen that failure mode. But that's the second full data-centre outage we've been affected by, in two different data centres operated by two different companies. Which makes me very happy to have equipment in two entirely separate locations.
