An SSD is more likely than an HDD to (1) die with absolutely no warning and (2) die due to the pattern of data written to it over its lifetime (and the way those writes interact with the SSD's controller/firmware). #2 in particular means that there is potentially a much higher correlation between the failures of SSDs in an array than there is of HDDs. (And #1 means that the consequences will be more catastrophic.) I would recommend using SSDs with two different types on controllers. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno@xxxxxxxxx Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying. ======================================================================== -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
