Hello Phil, When supporting an I/O intensive application such as NiFi at the enterprise level, you have to plan for failures in your storage layer. Disks are going to fail and you only get to choose how that failure will affect your system. Here are some things to think about.
+ Use RAID for data redundancy, to mitigate possible data loss when a disk fails. Buy spares. + Buy larger SSDs because they have greater reserve capacity and larger TBW endurance. + Not all SSDs are created equal. Some SSDs are cheaper with less endurance on purpose. "You get what you pay for." + Use SMART to monitor your SSDs. They will tell you when their end of life is near. Hope this helps, -- Mike On Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 4:05 AM Phil H <gippyp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I have been reading some reports of people having significant SSD > degredation after 100+Tb of writes, due to the chemistry of NAND gates (or > something?!).
