Hi! I hope I'm posting on the right forum. I gather with all the server being discussed here, There are a lot of experts around
I have an HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 server. It's missing a few drives. Is SSD (Samsung Evo, consumer) good enough to serve as it's hdd? RAID 5 will be implemented.
I have the option to buy SAS drives that are specific to this old model. I reckon it will be more expensive due to it being old parts already. Consumer SSDs, though may not be as sturdy, nevertheless, has no moving parts. Can it do the job?
Of course, regular backup will still be performed. This question is specifically for consumer SSD, such as Intel, or Samsung Evo only. I don't have access to used Enterprise models, as I see posted here a lot.
