3x SSD = raid1 + flashcache = fast
If your RAID1 is already SSDs, you don't really need flash cache.
Now that I think of it, you're probably right.
I'm actually curious if it would make a difference on heavily loaded disks, or if the difference would be negligible.
the servers with 120GB SSD is overpriced at SyS, as better to by OVH range server with SSD drives, the difference only £10 - £15 but you will get 4 times more capacity and better network port speed.
Don't forget the prices in the screen shot are CAD not £. I haven't seen anything close at OVH in terms of pricing that you mentioned. Do you have a direct link that shows these > 4x capacity servers?
I suppose it would, as you are splitting the load over 3 disks, rather than 2 disks. Although, all the data is having to go to the 3rd disk first. Initially it would probably be slower, but then it would be faster after the most used data had been written to the cache.
check HOST-32L at URL; https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/
no direct link as OVH modified their website
Same price span difference (£ vs CAD$ at ovh canada.)
Each use case is different. Not all need the extra drive space and prefer SSD over a HD.
BTW, depending on who you talk to at SYS, if you are an existing customer and in good standing with OVH, they can waive the setup fees.
The new E5 options are interesting as well, but a bit less enticing with the setup fee. I ended up going for the standard OVH line this time around
Some old hardware is going online again. But prices are good!

I am talking about SSD 480GB hard drive size, difference £15 (I know that currency is different), but you do get bigger SSD hard drive and better network speed port, but slightly slower processor 2,2 / 2,6 GHz
