I am curious how people's luck with SSD RAID setups have been across various brands. I currently have three RAID 1s that I'll be consolidating later this year.
Currently all my SSDs are 1TB Samsung though I had tried setting up a RAID 1 with Crucial SSDs years ago and it flat-out refused. I don't have the budget to test various brands though this is a hardware video I'll do once my web business blows up and I'll cover lots of really miscellaneous "edge" cases.
For those curious my current setup versus the desired new setup:
C:\ Single Samsung 1TB drive that I clone when Windows 7 kos.
D:\ RAID 1 Samsung 1TB for My Documents (or "User Files"). Thanks to Microsoft for 7+ it requires a bit of a registry hack. It's very nice not having personal files on your OS drive!
E:\ RAID 1 WD Green 4TB drives.
F:\ RAID 1 HGST 7200RPM 4TB drives.
Thankfully drive capacity has greatly improved. Before Intel killed HardOCP I enjoyed reading news there a lot and there is that cloud storage company that releases data information. Any way my main goal is to consolidate the mass storage and reduce overall SATA port reliance. I'm at 10 SATA with my 5.25 bay adapter that I use to treat hard drives like floppy disks.
C:\ Single NVMe SSD, 1TB though 2TB would be nice.
D:\ 2x2TB NVMe SSD
E:\ 12B HGST though ideally 16TB HGST; they seem to have the highest "life" expectancy across all brands.
Any way, who else has/uses RAID with SSDs and how have various brands work for you?
