I'm interested. I was considering using SSDs for my boot drive. Is RAID protection necessary/advisable using SSDs? _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
SSDs have much higher reliability than HDD. Mirroring is the only RAID level that does not impose a write penalty. Mirroring SSDs is expensive
Based on these 3 points, I'd say a backup is a much better solution than RAID, unless you want to (R)AID-0 them into a stripe for even more insane performance.
