ah and you have long time expierience about SSD's
over 6 years? i doubt no and i doubt they are not
as relieable as you would wish

data without a raid are useless and in case of
RAID you have to have at least one full backup
and so it does not care me if disks are dying

the real important daza are on RAID6 with 12
SAS disks, have daily backups offsite and weekly
de-duplication backups as also monthly off-site
backups with switch backup media every second month

the other machines are mirrored daily to the other
side of the city and backuped one a month

that said: i have never lost any data in my whole life
