Hardware and Performance / SSD Drive failure at 10,000 writes? Thoughts?
« on: October 25, 2021, 03:09:29 am »
Ok I was looking around the web and came across an article for pfsense that someone wrote that basically says that using SSD in a firewall setup might not be a good idea. His basis is that the firewall (opnsense/pfsense) are writing data just about every second (depending on usage and size of network etc.) and that SSD drives are not a good choice for high amounts of writes because they will fail around 10,000. Any thoughts or opinions? I wont post the link here since its actually on a pfsense forum (unless I am aloud to do this) but the article was interesting and it actually did make some sense. It was writing 10 years ago but the basis still has its roots today.
