I'm in the process of building a new hyper-v business server again, this time around i was considering going with raid6 and SAS 12Gb/s SSD storage, rather than Raid10 and 10k rpm sas drives.
In searching for something in the line of 1.6-2TB per drive (giving me around 6-7TB with 6, 1.6TB raid6 units).. i found this Toshiba PX04SVB160 drive: https://serverpartdeals.com/toshiba-px04svb160-1-6tb-sas-12gb-s-2-5-solid-state-drive/
Which at $549 seems too good to be true. Most drives i've found are in the $1200 and up range (too costly for us).
I'm also concerned if this is the real deal.. if we need to expand the array later it could prove hard to find these at this cost again. I dont see any specs on these drives as far as lifetime writes are concerned either.. if they last 7 years then this is adequate i'd say.
Anyone have any thoughts/experiences?
Thanks in advance
