What is the reason to go with Raid1 for the intel SSDs? My guess would be that the rate of Raid1-catchable failures of these drives is not considerably higher than the rate of, say mainboard failures or other failures that render the whole unit out of operation.
- mrmondo 12y agoThe only reason is to protect against per-device failures - the technology is new and while it's meant to have astounding resiliency and a long lifetime - I don't want to take that chance. Down the track when they have proved themselves to us I'll certainly be reconsidering this however.
- baruch 12y agoIf a mainboard fails you replace it and get back up (with downtime), if an SSD fails you lost your data. If you care about your data put some redundancy in it. Even for the case that a motherboard fails having redundancy will help with the downtime, your software needs to be able to handle failover situations and that gets hard but sometimes worth it.
