RE: Current PTF groups and SPECTRE/MELTDOWN

5 MB? We thought we were in high cotton when we got to upgrade from 1.2 MB
to 2.4 MB.

Someone found a gauge but it only works for the "read intensive" SSD's,
not for my models.
I don't think they would all die at once. So what I did was use RAID5
with two hot spares. (I have plenty with space to spare. While I get
that leaving 1.4TB tied up in hot spare may choke some greybeard who
remembers a 5MB platter being a big thing.)

We had some even older SSD's on our Power 6. We didn't bring them across.
That was a much smaller pool, I think it was only four drives.)
