Hello, I am thinking this post belongs here more than it does in the SSD forum, but do correct me if this is not the case.
I am planning on building a SS box with 7x data disks using 10GB drives, and two SSDs for caching, using mirror-accelerated + parity (with up to two failures tolerated). I will have two different volumes, one using mirroring and one using parity, but both with 2-drive failures tolerated. Then I will put appropriate data on them, using the parity drive for archives.
These drives here seem like they would do it:
Intel Fultondale 3 DC P3600 2.5" 1.2TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 MLC Solid State Drive - Newegg.com
Looking at the Ark info here:
Intel® SSD DC P3600 Series (1.2TB, 2.5in PCIe 3.0, 20nm, MLC) Product Specifications
These have both power loss protection and high endurance. So this seems like a perfect fit if I used a pair of these for a mirrored write-cache disk, yes? Need to figure out the connector situation, but otherwise good.
So, I am wondering, am I missing something here? Will these be detected properly in Server 2019 for storage spaces in this use case? Is there anything else I am not accounting for?
Thanks
