As I told you before, I used RAID-1 of two conventional olde spinning- platter hard-drives, using a hardware-RAID SATA controller. An additional drive can be standing by as a "hot-spare" or RAID6 can be used (on newer controllers) which resists failure of 2 drives per array.
Why would I mention this if flash memory is as "obviously" much safer as your above statement seems to imply?
