Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} SSD instead of RAID1?
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 03:46:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10907260346y62a6f95dyfda763fceb0bcb39@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have two local systems that need to be reliable and also have a
large storage capacity. The thing is, the data storage doesn't need
to be reliable, I just need the systems to keep running. The data on
the systems is backed up and losing it wouldn't be the end of the
world because of the backups. However, I really need each of the
systems to keep running.
I've read that an SSD drive should be much more reliable than an HD
drive. What if I bought a low-price/low-capacity SSD drive for each
of these systems, installed the system essentials on them, and used my
existing high-capacity HD drives for data storage? Would each system
keep running if the HDs died? If so, I think that would offer as good
or better system reliability than RAID1. What do you think?
