What would be the purpose of these Samsung drives (e.g. synchronous write intent log, L2 ARC, main store) in your server?<br>
<br>
For use as a synchronous intent log you should look for SSDs which support a super-cap to assure that all confirmed data is commited to underlying FLASH if the power fails.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
