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

20,000 IOPs - which when scaled up in an array - starts to look interesting.
