Not unless the alternative is hot-plug SAS drives. I like being able to notice the red light on a failed drive and just pop in a spare, not sure if there is an equivalent method with SSDs. Also not sure if you can get the SMART stats from an SSD, or how much that is worth, since I’ve never done that.
But I have a webserver that is maybe 3-4 years old that was built with SSDs and have had no problems. I think they were Samsung 850 PRO drives.

This is a dell R620 and uses 2.5" drives. Last one I setup I just used 1TB WD RED 2.5" drives. Now that the price of SDD has dropped, I was thinking about using SSD over the HDD. Most likely going to be a Ubuntu system with linux SW raid 10. Any reason not to go with the SSD? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com <mailto:m...@mailmt.com> Myakka Technologies, Inc. www.MyakkaTech.com <http://www.MyakkaTech.com> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
