Hi All,

On several Windows machines lately, I have been using
Intel's Cherryville enterprise SSD drives.  They work
very, very well.

Cherryville drives have a 1.2 million hour MTBF (mean time
between failure) and a 5 year warranty.

I have been thinking, for small business servers
with a low data requirement, what would be the
risk of dropping RAID in favor of just one of these
drives?

Seems to me the RAID controller would have a worse
MTBF than a Cherryville SSD drive?

And, does SL 6 have trim stuff built into it?

What do you all think?

Many thanks,
-T
