So I need a bunch of SSDs to build out a new server. It will basically be an overpowered NAS that I may occasionally use for server stuff too. I will be running a R730xd with the H730 and either RAID 6 or RAID 50 with the drives in groups of 8. I'd say on average I do 50GB of writes a day. Not so much on the read side of things. I like the Intel 1.92TB S4500 I am running, but people are too proud of them right now. I am eyeballing the D3-S4510 models instead.
I don't particularly understand how to tell if a drive is read/write intensive or if that even matters for my piddly amount of use. I basically just pick a brand I like that has a good endurance and standard speeds. Looking for advice if the D3-S4510 would be fine. Also suggestions on the RAID option although other people seem to lean towards RAID 6.
