How do you handle drive failures in OPNsense?

[BigFreddy]

Hi everyone,

I was recently thinking about drive storage and how it is used in OPNsense, how often the drives should be changed and how much data OPNsense writes to it which I don't have a clear answer on. What comes with this topic is drive storage failures and my question is how do you guys handle that part of the firewall?

What's your philosophy or approach to drives used in OPNsense? Do you monitor drives for failures, if so, how and if not, how do you make sure that the failure of the drive doesn't cause any issues or opens up the firewall on the WAN side upon the failure?

Let's discuss about this topic and everything that comes with it.
Thanks
