@haskal i just get whatever Samsung is affordable and RAID1 but ehh

@f0x @haskal yeah basically just get a samsung evo or pro if you're paranoid. "enterprise grade" SSDs are fuck-you expensive U.2 devices that you don't want to get, probably.

i wouldn't even raid1 within a batch because SSD life is mainly just based on write cycles and RAID1 has the same number of write cycles but now its on two drives. Maybe like, raid1 with another SSD you get in two years

@f0x @haskal most SSD makers list a "terrabytes written before failure" stat on their drives which you'll notice scales linearly with storage capacity within a product line because its literally just wear leveling

@artemis @haskal yeah over the past years I've kinda staggered my upgrades, also going up in size one at a time
