I guess to expand on my thinking. If we have Raid 1 setup on 2 SDD's wont memory wear be happing at the same time therefore hdd failure would happen in the same time?

We were wondering with the memory wear algorithms baked into SDD's nowdays is RAID 1 still needed for server applications were data retention is important?<br />

SDD is RAID Still needed?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
