Hey guys,
So let me first say that I understand the differences in enterprise server SSD and desktop SSD. Now let me ask you this - understanding the risks in potentially losing a drive sooner than expected, if I had a couple spare drives sitting around for replacement parts, would you think it's feasible to run some Samsung 840 drives in a ProLiant server?
I was thinking of doing a RAID 5 or RAID 10 setup, loading up 6 drive slots with 500GB Samsung 840 drives.
What are your thoughts on this idea? Reckless? Worth trying? This will be for a production server, running ESXi 5.0 for VMWare with probably 2-3 VMs on it.
