The Hidden Costs of RAID-5: How It Wears Down SSDs Faster

Executive Summary RAID-5 configurations, while providing redundancy and data protection, can severely reduce the lifespan of SSDs. Workloads that typically exhaust SSDs in 3 years under RAID-0 or RAID-10 setups can shorten their lifespan to just 1.75 years in an...
