Hello,
I am currently putting together a PC build for someone who isn't very prone to making backups, so he's definitely getting a RAID1 for his data drive.
Here's my current plan: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kCxdjX
My question: Is it worth it to use SSD's for a RAID1?
Not only for the speed, but also because SSDs seem to have lower failure rates.
I have read around a bit, and saw some hints that SSD's will be slower in a RAID because of lacking TRIM support - but these articles are all a few years old, and I can't find any newer definitive info on the topic (not about RAID 1 anyway).
Also, in the manual for the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI ATX LGA1151, http://, page 38), in the section about setting up RAID, it says
So should I just go for 2x WD Blue HDD instead?

which kinda sounds like non-M.2 SSD are not supported anyway... but it's not stated explicitly.
