and annoyances of them today; there are many, with varied quality, and
which ones are good keep changing. We've had decent luck so far but it's
something we're going to have to keep an eye on.</p>

One of our vendors configured one our servers with a pair of 64GB SSDs for the OS mirror made by a well known flash storage company. When we first powered up the system, one drive in the mirror was already failed when we first powered it up. Checking the logs, both drives were actually reporting IO errors, so we had to get them both replaced right off the bat. Those replacements ran for about 6 months before both of them failed. At that point I demanded our vendor swap out for a different manufacturer and have been happy ever since (2 1/2 years so far on this pair).</p>
