All consumer and Pros are. they not meant for Servers only for home.
Obviously not or DR would've just mirrored the data out.

I really can't find fault with the choice of NAND for a budget offering . Maybe the recent PROS have undiscovered weaknesses.
Pretty tragic thing to happen to a great host.
Something similar happened (cascading ssd failures in Raid10) to Hosthatch Sweden a couple years ago IIRC.
What "intel onboard raid controller" exactly? And what Raid mode?
I'm asking because I do respect well known providers experience and tend to believe that the 850 pro isn't a good drive for the DC but I have a hunch that this here might be a case of "unlucky marriage" with the intel controller playing a unfortunate role too.
Built in Motherboard raid
I think he was talking about the device, raid controller chipset etc
Built-in as in "AHCI w/Raid 0, 1, 10" or as in "some LSI or similar real Raid chip" ?
I believe he meant this one AHCI w/Raid 0, 1, 10 , The twin fat units won’t let you installing normal Raid cards like LSI.
I know but Supermicro offers their own add on format/system for most of their stuff.
Thanks for the info and I guess there's the culprit, an unhappy marriage of intel AHCI "Raid controller" and a somewhat sensitive (so it seems) 850 pro. But my main suspicion is the intel ahci, possibly along with the linux driver.
(Don't get me wrong. This is not hitting on linux. In fact I personally think that supporting intel fake raid (extremely Windows oriented) was well meant but wrong in the first place).
My suggestion: DO NOT use AHCI fake raid! You can have Raid 0, 1, 10 just as well almost cost free by the linux (or BSD) software Raids. Hardware Raid (real or fake) is not worth it anyway unless you do Raid 5, 6, 5x, 6x. In fact for Raid 0, 1, 10 the OS Raid can even be FASTER because the OS knows much much more about the file system and device requests than the controller.
How often should I be doing backups?
How much data are you willing to lose?
42 times per week, month, or year. No more and no less.
I had to listen to a VERY long Vogon poem to get at this info, so do not make 41 or 43 backups but exactly 42!
Depends on how much volatile and important your data is. For some you may need to go hourly while weekly for some. Or for static site, you may just need few copies.
This often, so, when a failure occures, you won't less valuable data you cannot replace easily. For critical infrastrutcures, this could be a live replication(s).> AntKala said: How often should I be doing backups?

It doesn’t matter whatever you do they are consumer SSD won’t even last with heavy writing it could be used obly if there is kind of replicated it will ve safer to use .
Hmm are they? We have 80 of these Samsung 1TB 850s but no failures after 2-3 years. Probably now that I write this they will all fail tomorrow.
In before "LunaNoda experiences massive raid failures. Raid-0 adventure comes to an end."
Haha definitely RAID10.
Please don't!!! I don't had backup of backup of backup
i think the same thing happened with xenstorage
Just curious, when it happened were those drives HP branded?
IIRC yes.
Yep, iirc they were seagate's underneath though.
Sure, no issue if cut or gay
They should've chosen to travel by train instead of a car since a car is a lot more insecure.
You could say that his belief got "raid"-ed.
Sorry, I'll leave now.
Just curious, for what need to use 6x1TB SSD 850 Pro Raids? I can't really figure out. Is not it cheaper to buy NVMe?
I just checked my inbox and the message for this went to spam. The funny thing is that I canceled my service with them just prior to this outage. The disk I/O I was seeing was very bad and I now know why.
At any rate, it appears that, outside of this incident, they have a pretty good reputation so, I wish them well.
thanks. I also had the feeling that there had been something similar back then, but could not recall when or where...

found it ;-)
Why not both?
