SSD drive use

Question

We are in the process of rolling out a number of ReadyNAS units. We buy the ReadyNAS device and install our own 'garden fresh' disks and then configure.

Our disks have typically been enterprise grade units and the cost and MTBF are acceptable.

We are now considering the use of SSD in place of typical rotating disks since the cost curve is starting to approach rotating storage.

Any opinions?

Any known issues?

Suggestions and comments?

Which ReadyNAS models are you deploying?

Digital999 · Answer

It depends on the location -- RN312, RN316 and RN314.

There are some benefits to using SSDs with the 300 series, but obviously bigger benefits to using them with a NAS with 10G such as the RN526X or RN626X.

I was surprissed by the sector count issue -- good to know so the devices can be deployed initially and older devices can be reinitialized..&nbsp;Our sites are smallish by most standards but sprinkled across the nation.&nbsp; The larger units are too large for our use.&nbsp;Additionally we will be re-deploying the current NAS units to serve as FTP servers for our cameras.&nbsp; They will be located in a different internal location than the business focused NAS&nbsp; units to capture and save possible security concerns.&nbsp;&nbsp;My concern now is internal hacks by bad actors that have physical access to our networks.&nbsp; My proposal for multiple logon lockout counts would certainly help here.&nbsp;
