Interesting. This does not inspire confidence. What SSDs (2TB or 4TB) do people have good success with in high use production systems with bluestore?ThanksOn Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 5:32 PM, Mike Lovell <mike.lovell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:hrm. intel has, until a year ago, been very good with ssds. the description of your experience definitely doesn't inspire confidence. intel also dropping the entire s3xxx and p3xxx series last year before having a viable replacement has been driving me nuts.i don't know that i have the luxury of being able to return all of the ones i have or just buying replacements. i'm going to need to at least try them in production. it'll probably happen with the s4600 limited to a particular fault domain. these are also going to be filestore osds so maybe that will result in a different behavior. i'll try to post updates as i have them.mikeOn Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 2:33 PM, David Herselman <dhe@xxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Mike,
I eventually got hold of a customer relations manager at Intel but his attitude was lack luster and Intel never officially responded to any correspondence we sent them. The Intel s4600 drives all passed our standard burn-in tests, they exclusively appear to fail once they handle production BlueStore usage, generally after a couple days use.
Intel really didn’t seem interested, even after explaining that the drives were in different physical systems in different data centres and that I had been in contact with another Intel customer who had experienced similar failures in Dell equipment (our servers are pure Intel).
Perhaps there’s interest in a Lawyer picking up the issue and their attitude. Not advising customers of a known issue which leads to data loss is simply negligent, especially on a product that they tout as being more reliable than spinners and has their Data Centre reliability stamp.
I returned the lot and am done with Intel SSDs, will advise as many customers and peers to do the same…
