Our 3 year warranty on our 13 SSD drives will expire Feb 2018.
The 24x7 maintenance will be around $15,000 annually, just for the 13 SSD.
ES0P 775GB SFF-3 SSD for IBM i 13 80600
1092 P
I have 2 Raid-5 sets, one with 6, one with 5, and two hot spares.
I've never had an SSD fail in 6 years.
The first set of SSD we swapped 3 years ago for larger SSD when they were
coming off warranty and we needed more space.
We're contemplating not putting the 13 ESOP on maintenance.
If one would fail, I'm protected with Raid-5 with a hot spare.
Simply buy another unit if and when a failure would occur.
Any thoughts, Pros/Cons from the group.
Thank You
