They seem to be, but I'm one of those odd people who's distrustful enough of hdds to use raid1 (or better) on desktop systems and I would do the same for SSDs too. HDDs aren't particularly reliable devices in any case. This is one of the reasons we need backups. Data point: I have a 5-disk RAID0 (stripe) array of 64Gb Intel E25-E drives for bacula spooling. In the last 2 years it's had about 3PB of data pass through it and none of the SSD devices has so much as dropped a bit. On the other hand I've had to replace 2 of the 12 "enterpise SATA" mechanical hard drives in the same backup server (1 in a 6 disk raid10 array for the database and 1 in a 6 disk RAID6 array used for the OS/general data) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
