RAID5 Still The Go-To Setup For SSD?

[NashBrydges]

The R720xd in its new home. The drive indicator lights are all green on the server. OMSA complains about the firmware even though these were purchased from Dell directly.

hardware rarely arrives up to date with firmware in my experience.

[NashBrydges]

@dashrender Interestingly enough, this is the current firmware for this drive.

RAID 5 for SSD is a yes. Space-efficient, yet performs decently, if you need the extra redundancy and make the system future-proof just get a second server with SSD in RAID 5 and balance the storage efficiency with replicating part of the data with a VSAN type solution. StarWind can make it easier from a cost perspective due to us having a free version, but ultimately any VSAN will do the trick.

I'd gladly trade the round holes for my square hole racks with the nutcerts that have me impaling my hand with a screwdriver a few times a year.
