+1 for Crucial SSD's
Intel 730 is my go to SSD for ANYTHING.
We don't do any virt, but we use Crucial M5XX, BXXX, etc . . . SSDs in all of our servers, they've been fantastic. Cheap, reliable and they have capacitors.
Be careful for never using any TLC-based SSD on Server, Datacenter on any serious occasion
Hardware or Software RAID10?
I don't think it matters much anymore with the advances in mdadm having TRIM support
We only run hardware RAID in our nodes. I use FakeRAID (AMD RAID Xpert) at home.
Got two Samsung 850 Pro 250GB and it's just awesome. I'd definitely use those.
850 Pros are really good. They wear very slowly and relocate sectors if they get corrupted, so their storage capacity just slowly decreases.
If you allocate a 90% partition to ZFS, performance will be above excellent.
