Hello. I am looking for some info about using RAID with SSD disks on our server:
Dell PowerEdge R730
Perc H730 Integrated RAID controller 1 GB cache
200 GB Solid State Drive SAS Mixed Use MLC 12 Gbps 2.5 inch
OS Windows 2008 R2 (for now)
We would like to know if it is supported to use two SSD disks in a RAID 1 configuration.
What are the risks?
Any suggestions for other/better solutions?
How does the controller or SSD handle Garbage collection, Trim, and other SSD techniques?
Are there any solutions in place for Wear leveling and how do they work?
What are the protection methods for I/O failures for these SSD disks and / or PERC controllers?
I hope you can answer (some of) the question or point me in the right direction for some Dell documentation about this subject.
thx
Arjan
