Last time, I checked, there was a issue with background-fsck.
I will give it a chance with my new 8.0 box.
Do you have any experience with SSDs w/o BBUed Raidcontroller?
Are they fast enough to ensure flash write out of drive cache at power
failure after fsync ack?

IMHO use the right tools for the job. In a DBMS environment where data
integrity is "the deal" this means a BBU'd RAID adapter.
SSDs have their own set of issues, at least at present..... For data
that is read-only (or nearly-so) and of size where it can fit on a SSD
they can provide VERY significant performance benefits, in that there is
no seek or latency delay. However, any write-significant application is
IMHO still better-suited to rotating media at present. This will change
I'm sure, but it is what it is as of this point in time.
this depends on what SSD you use. for most of them you are correct, but
there are some that have very good write performance.
