Currently Reviewing our Data Center Server Builds and with all of the technological improvements with Hard Drives should we take that next step of utilizing SSD Drives for a PRODUCTION RAID ARRAY???
Looking specifically at reliability in the area of Writes on a SSD vs HD and more specifically SSD vs HD in a RAID Array since this will produce many more writes across the set of drives.
Previous research reviled that the SLC drives had a much shorter life span if large volumes of writes were taking place.
I am doing research now on the new SSD Drives to determine if this is no longer an issue. Anyone have live experience with this on a Server environment that has High usage?
