      That's not a way to measure RAID reliability. I actually a video about why we never mention "number of lost drives" in the SAMIT queue.

      Which one? You have several RAID videos.

        It's in the queue, not visible yet. It's specifically about why we don't look at "how many drives can be lost"

            I set up my servers with RAID 10 and 10 or 15 K RPM Drives and a dedicated RAID card and an SSD Drive for CacheCade.

            However with the decrease in pricing for SSD drives, I would like to start using them more in servers.

            1. Still do RAID 10 with SSD's?
            2. Is a dedicated RAID card still needed if using SSD's?
            1. Usually RAID 5 makes sense. Still RAID 10 if you want maximum performance. Be aware that you can saturate almost any SATA/SAS controller with the performances of 6-7 SSD.
            2. Apply the same consideration for the HDD.

            I actually came here to ask about #1 - is that 6 drives in raid10? Has anyone measured this / tested it etc?

              I just looked, looks like it is actually on schedule for tomorrow!

                  Yes, xByte tested that. It saturated REALLY low.

                    That's interesting. I didn't know that.
