- 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.

- SSD Myths and Legends - "write endurance" |
| Does the
fatal gene of "write endurance" built into
flash
solid state
disks prevent their deployment in intensive server acceleration
applications - such as RAID
systems? |
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.
