Re: SSD Burn out
Given the storage array I'm in the process of retiring (10 year old drives) and it's drive failures every other month, and the regular age related deaths of storage on our existing servers, "perfect" does not exist in the hard drive world.
My newer servers and SANs have a write countdown that tells me when the SSD is wearing out and that should give me a far more predictable. "drive is wearing out, replace soon before it becomes a problem" rather than "dead drive, the RAID is now degraded. lets rush out and buy a new one" Or the worse yet "two drives are dead with no warning and we have lost data"
Unpredictable failures have a cost that should be accounted for in any TCO calcualation.
