  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Is it possible to Raid SSD drives together?

Jeff Kilgroe said:
Not yet. Like HDD's, the "enterprise" class models will most likely be physically the same units as the other M SSD drives. So I'd imagine they're the same in terms of the FLASH chips and memory controllers as the M series units. But I would expect the E series to have different firmware and performance tuning to work better in performance environments / RAID configurations. That's mostly speculation, though until I get my hands on one or get more info. On the surface (and for spec sheets / whitepapers), they look the same but the E series has a better warranty and costs a bit more, they're harder to locate and buy too.

Thanks Jeff. I look forward to learning more about the "e" series. If you end up getting a hold of these drives and do a test then please post your findings.

thanks you : )
 
Has anyone had experience with fragmentation problems with their SSD? It seems like the best bet would be to have your boot volume and applications on an SSD (or raided SSD's) and use regular HD's for data.

I don't think SSD's are ready (as Jeff and Chris have pointed out) to be used as video raids yet, having massive amounts of data constantly written and read from them.

Harky,

No problems with fragmentation here on the Mac side. On the PC side, Globalstor already has a 4K capable REDe machine that is powered by SSD RAID.
