I'm looking to build a media server (lots of IOPS). This will be ran on desktop grade hardware not server grade.
I could either buy a 4TB SSD for around $500.00 or get 4x 1TB HDD and put them in a RAID 0 for around $325.00 (including RAID controller). According to some websites the RAID 0 is right up there in performance with the SSD. What would be the down side of the RAID 0 if all the data was backed up? Big deal if a $40 drive fails it's better than a $500.00 SSD.
Has anyone out there done this? How was the performance on the RAID 0 with 4 drives?
Thanks,
