The current question is how we treat SSD’s.

Meaning plan b when they die or how to maximize their benefits?

The current question is how we treat SSD’s. I have seen a bunch of SSD based RAID 0+1 with spinner backup. I’m not sure it’s optimum because I didn’t think about it in these terms till your post but isn’t every SSD an Array of storage chips itself? Damn it Doug for making me think in the AM😁 |

At this point I don’t think it’s as much about redundancy as anything these days, the speed isn’t as big of a deal. In our business it’s the guys doing live recordings or large scale film score where you not getting another job if there is a drive failure. For the rest of us is that one in a million failure worth it? Probably not, but I’ll admit it can make you look like a genius or better yet like nothing happened when there is a problem. |

In this day and age, SSD failures are rare. Daily backing up is cheap and easy. There's really no reason to go RAID anymore unless you're doing datacenter work where having backup time would be too time consuming.

I do a very simple RAID 2-bay enclosure with redundant 1TB SSD's. Since the reliability and speed of SSD's make calamitous crashes or data lag no longer a factor, I'm willing to pay a few bucks insurance.
Too many years of the dreaded PT "DAE Error -2948532" alerts (or the sound of a platter drive grinding the clutch) have made me paranoid. I've pain tested data speeds and there's simply no way a recovering 2" tape user like me is ever going to max out a 40gb/s TB3 connection. Prior to that, I had a 4-bay RAID 5 with 4 x 500GB spinners in it running over FW800 - it was definitely not bulletproof.
Sometimes I look at the tiny little enclosure with it's miniscule cable connecting to my equally miniscule computer and smile on the enchanted times we live in.
