  • editor's note:- in October 2007 Addonics launched what it called a "low cost large capacity SSD" platform. It's a PCI card that can be installed with 4 Compact Flash cards with inbuilt RAID support. The risk with this approach is that most CF cards aren't designed for intensive write operations and don't have wear levelling controllers. That means if a user installs such a product in a server application - as a lower cost alternative to a true SSD - the storage media may fail in under a year.

It was certainly true as little as a few years ago.

What's the risk with today's devices?

This article looks at the current generation of products and calculates how much (or how little) you should be worried.

RAM based SSDs have been used alongside RAID for years - but flash SSDs are physically smaller and have bigger capacity (upto 412G in 2.5", 512G in 3.5") and are lower cost than RAM-SSDs and could actually be configured in standard RAID boxes. F-SSDs aren't as fast as RAM based products but a single flash SSD can deliver 20,000 IOPs - which when scaled up in an array - starts to look interesting. ...read the article, storage reliability solid state disks
