SSD choice for NAS in casual Home Server
Go to solution
Solved by Aragorn-,
Some years ago we setup a pair of SSD based fileservers at work in an HA cluster. One had two 2TB Samsung 850 Pros, the other a pair of enterprise level Samsung PM863's
Both have seen identical workloads. ~40k hours operation, and ~20TB written to them over that time. The wear levelling count is slightly higher on the 850Pro's at 35% rather than 31%, but realistically they are "the same"
I've also got a pair of 860 Evos with 20k hours and ~10TB written with a wear levelling count of 7%.
So no, you dont need any special SSD's, even for a server thats getting hammered day in day out with an office full of engineers, and certainly not for home use.
