• If you are going to protect your SSD with RAID then give it a good few months (or 10% of its expected life) to get some wear and then replace one of the SSDs with a new one. Due to RAID 1 having identical number of writes to both drives then the likelihood of both failing at very similar time becomes a moderate risk or at least you need to be incredible quick in replacing the failed drive. I know I’m not the only DBA that has had more than one occasion where 2 scsi drives have failed within hours of one another.
